Is it just me?

[Pebbs]

I know what you mean Gary, the last few months have been the best and worst of times for me. I just can't be bothered at the moment with anything. Meetings are the worst, today I cancelled another one, and sent someone else to it, he rang me and said what a total waste of time that was. That's my life most days total waste of time listening to crap about programmes, health and safety, risk assessments, pat testing, datum lines, finished floor levels, logistics, ppe, and insurances. Every single contract is on delay, or at a standstill, I get up early and its dark and cold and finish work and there's no change its still dark and cold.

The pub is a good idea, but I don't think I would stop drinking till they dragged me out of there.

Hiya Gary, i didnt use Ditra on this floor, the customer only had so much money to spend!
I've done all kindsa research on this and heard views from all the adhesives manufacturers, plus Tramex and Protitmeter, the hygrometer manufacturers, results on lots of other threads on here about it all. As for the test i've heard lots of conflicting advise on testing.
I've done small tests with ditra and gypsum adhesives and they do seem to work with Ditra, i may be very wrong and its my opinion but i don't agree with Schluter and i won't be using cement based adhesives direct to these screeds.
I'm booked on the December Schluter course so that'll be interesting.
I'm gonna avoid these floors as much as possible to be honest, i really can't be arsed with the faff!

We had last weekend away for the wife's birthday and Monday was a difficult day getting back into the swing of things but that's life!
The clock moving back has had it's usual effect making the days shorter but starting earlier with a cup of coffee and a bacon butty overlooking the sea at Tynemouth makes the day start with a smile.
Having plenty of work is the bonus and the variety of jobs makes this still the best trade around.
Keep smiling!

I'm not fed up with work... work is good and loads of it ..

It's just other things that have got me down , well it's mainly the wife's health .. only a couple know but she has been diagnosed with MS ( on top of her chrohns ) and last week got the nod she has to go onto medication for the MS .. so it has stressed us out some and one of the reasons i had to stop Admin duties on here.. anyway .. not about me just my reasons like gary for feeling not so good about things but a holiday would be good..

gaz.. take a break if funds allow it mate.. a holiday can make things seem better.. works for me most times any way.. but when work get's you down then you need to find a compromise.

Puts things into some sort of perspective perhaps. Hope you both do ok itch I David. A buddy of min was I diagnosed nearly twenty five years ago. He has only just this year hadto take to a wheelchair. It shows if you can fighting and battle it you can slow kit down mate. And you guys being from the northeast are bound to be tough eh!! good luck.
