Is It Too Much To Ask!?

[Flintstone]

I've had Chinese meals cooked, a few vegi kebabs, curries, all sorts over the years. I've also had a lot of dry jobs! I guess everyone's different. I don't take a flask unless I go on a job and I'm gonna be there a while and there is no sign of a brew on day one!

Anyone tried the new 22mm Hardier Board designed to replace ply and go straight onto the floor joists?
No idea of cost by would be more moisture stable !

They sell it at my suppliers but as of a few months ago they said it had not been tested directly onto joists so couldn't guarantee. I would have thought that is exactly the reason for its manufacture, to replace floorboards and sit directly on joists at that thickness!!

This is what I was told

Sorry, don't know what that has got to do with a brew expect that you may have one less process to do and would have time to nip down to Costa Coffee

 

[MTiler]

I dont expect it.
Although on one job the customer paid me a bit extra because I didnt drink gallons of tea or coffee lol.

Do they pay UK taxes though?

Back on topic - It's well offside if they don't make you a drink, nothing like engaging with the customer and that's generally the first thing I'm asked when I start work every morning!!!

I love my coffee, but I'm a bit of a snob. Can't stand instant rubbish.
My most recent peeve is working in houses where they have decent coffee machines or espresso pots and they only give you an instant. Lazy, tight or both!

Nah, you can't expect a brew, but its at least manners to offer one to some poor old fella with a pot-belly who is sweating his nuts off huffing and puffing away in your new wet-room eh?
Having said that, my sis and her husband don't do hot drinks, and I bet they don't offer one to trades either....!

Don't trust people who don't drink hot drinks! Summat weird going on...

Flask.......

And maybe a poo under the floorboards.














I'm joking

much better is a small opened bag of frozen prawns...

Wouldn't bother me, I don't drink any hot drinks not had one for over 30 years!

 

[Qwerty]

Christ, never mind the brew...... Ply in a wetroom....

You doughnut!! As John said below, it was to replace a patchwork quilt of a floor with a nice new fresh flat surface.

It will be to replace the floorboards and then board and tank over I'm guessing

Which reminds me many years ago in my youth we went to a party, and one of the lads took a dump in a freezer bag, squeezed it about and wrote gravy on the label and stuck it in the freezer
