Beddy yeppers he is
My Dad says hi, and hi to Jeff as well.
Just saw this post on Google.
I worked alongside Maxi on Andy Morans jobs Lower Earley, Crown wood, Sandhurst etc.
He fascinated me at first until I started copying his work ethic.
I quickly became as fast and at one point faster. We'd get 8 ton loads of sand and use it all by the end of the day.
Often plastering two houses ready for setting the next day. Life was so much easier then remember ....
No Health & Safety to slow us down, just Clerks of the Works :-(
He was as much hands-on with the plastering as his mate John, and I have to say it sickens me a bit that there are so many people on this Forum ready to slag him off without knowing the man.
He was an inspiration to many, extremely kind and generous with his time 'and' his money.
He was also a great #charity fundraiser, but of course that all goes un-recognised.
Hope he's well .... not seen him for a good few years now :-(

Did my Brother Geoff work with you ?
Not too sure - I was replying to Dominic Regans reply to you as I worked alongside them and Maxi'n'John.
But if he worked for Andy in the 70's and 80's then I'm sure I would've done
I was really sorry to hear of Andy's passing recently - Very sad.

Andy had quite a few of his relatives working for him back then, and imported many more of his friends from Ireland to keep up with all the work - Our paths very likely crossed but I'm useless at names, more a faces chap .
Though we're all pretty unrecognizable to each other now

That sounds about right - how is your Dad? and do you know if Noel's still around?
OH, I'm really sorry to hear that, several of my old work-mates have passed recently, and now with Andy going last week, it makes you feel really mortal all of a sudden. Your Dad and Andy had a pretty good innings though, and that's a blessing at least.
Time goes by so fast the older you get, so I count my blessings today, we never know what's round the corner.
Hiya Fred, Im Doms son John. Are you talking about his Dad Pat and his brother Pat?Not too sure - I was replying to Dominic Regans reply to you as I worked alongside them and Maxi'n'John.

I've worked with some fast lads over the years. All done with a bath and rake, stick and podger. Your labourer was worth his weight in gold.He'd go ahead and plank out the whole house ahead of you. Superhod did exist but he was a main contractor. That's how he made his millions. He got his hands dirty labouring on his workforce. As for machines they have been trying to get them popular for years.I first used a G4 at mcvities in Manchester 30 years ago and then in Germany in the 80's.Great idea but this country just isn't geared up for it.

This house seems to of taken too more builders using us.
