Using PTB on the walls...

[Rich]

Im not a plasterer and dont claim to be but I thought this was worth a post. Went to start a bathroom that has been booked in for months, got pushed back due to the plumber and then the plasterer had to do his bit. I went in and put a level on the wall and almost had a heart attack! I showed the customer and she said that she had only asked the plasterer to "patch up the walls" so it wasnt his fault, fair enough. I left and the plasterer came back to sort the walls out. I came back and took some pics of the walls.






What do you guys think?

[kilty55]

just make the customer aware of the COST difference in plaster and flexi adhesive

that should help her change her mind on the plastering

How many times have we all turned up to price a job, armed with tape measure, portfolio, calculator, two meter Stabila level. Only to be told "you won't need the level, we have just had all the walls plastered" "OK, I will just check the shape of the walls anyway" you can guess what comes next.:mad2:
