I ******* hate them. Nowhere to put all your stuff as its in the way wherever you put it. After each one I always say never again then see the £££ signs when I go look at one then end up regretting every second of doing it once I'm there

specialy love battern that youve got in van either beeing too short or long everytime!!!!!

and a full family trying to get ready in and out of rooms whilst your trying to sheet up every morning mega!!!!

Got a beaut of a h/s/l this week. 4 different types of heavy artex on walls and ceilings to betokontakt, bond, then skim. Messy!!! Can't wait until its over before I've even started.
 
Haha love those as well. In future any job that is too small to take a lab on with will not be getting done, my body feels like I've done a full house in a day

The worst!! Always price a day for cleaning!! Did one last week carpeted throughout!! Used the sticky plastic for carpets saved so much hassle it's unreal! A morning sheeting it all up, up to the curve on the shirts and stinger, cost about £40 for 4 rolls but worth every penny from not tripping over fuxkin dust sheets!

i feel for ya bud :)
 
and corridors with 6 gloss doors to clean along with all those arckys, skirts/ loft hatch, stair ballastory (dont know how spelt) and stairs stringer...

and kids back at 3pm just as your half way through your 2nd gauge of the day!!!!!

can i just get pass to go to the toilet!!!..."yes no problem il just get down off this battern and move everything again!!!"

i mean its not like the jobs been booked in for a month and youve had time to arrange being out till i finish in another couple of hrs!!!!

aghhhhhhhhhhhhh i hate domestics and people in general for that matter!!!!!!!!!!!

haha when i first got with my missus she told me years ago that her parents had a wall in her bedroom plastererd, but she diddnt get out of bed, a bed that was right against the wall, and the spread actually sheeted over her and did it around her haha
 
i usually do bathrooms reskims for wickes through a bathroom fitter and some times he has to leave the bog in if its the only one in the house and ive lost count of the times ive refused to go around the bog or anywhere near it till all the richards and jimmys are flushed and all the curly clock springs have been cleaned away

When doing bathrooms out i supply a caravan toilet for the customer touse, emptied evry day. This way i can just get on and do the bathroom, perhaps you lads astering could do the same save customers running up and down stairs for wc.
 
Or charge 500 quid and let them piss you off all day or better still don't bother .....

Mmm taking it to the extreme now...
what I do when I have to do a h/s/l or toilet is to put the whole family up in 5* hotel for a week :RpS_laugh:
