I.ve had plaster fall of walls . I put this Down to both being outside wall ,one was a concrete ceiling n we did em when it was below freezing outside so I put it down to that.
My number one has to be when I went through water pipe . Though plumber had not clipped his pipes up . I walked through room and thought did I just feel water on my arm . Then lime a tool I took that one screw out of a 8x 4 board and all I could hear was spraying water while we unscrewed other screws. Found stop tap but they had two . Like ye do on a terrace house lol. On a good not it was a red hot day so cooled us down and I learnt a bit of plumbing lol
 
Once did a foreigner fully tiling a bathroom new suite board and skim celing and tile bath in, tested everything fitted her a shower pump then 2 days later got a phone call at 8 at night a push fit fitting blew off under the bath on the hot and the shower pump totally emptied the cylinder under the bath. Soaked all the upstairs carpets brought celing below down blew laminate floor downstairs swelled up front door blew plaster off hallway walls and f**k*d the wallpaper. Nearly killed me sorting it out. Then to rip the freshly tiled bath panel off and re tile. Needless to say Iv not done anymore bathrooms since

It happens to us all from time to time, thankfully plastering there's not that much that can go wrong, even if it comes down or you have an emergency and have to leave it, you can always overboard or re pva and skim again. Not like plumbing I f**k**g hate it lol
 
Flooded my sister in laws house out trying to take a radiator off. New carpets etc. needed...

Had a VERY irate customer once when I was young and naive who walked around punching all our reveals in with his bare fists smashing them all to bits...

I overboarded a ceiling and screwed into a wire that was running along a joist, I didn't realise I had done it until the whole ceiling was on and obviously because it was wet it was live so I kept getting shocks through my trowel, electric ceiling! Ouch :frio:, I also embarrassed myself trying to take a radiator off once, leaked everywhere.

Subbyz f**k*d a gable up, sand n cement, so we had to fix it, old boss made us put it on the Wednesday in the pissing rain, Needless to say it eventually washed off, then next day we told him it gave heavy showers in the afternoon, so we had to go ahead anyway, one ten min shower at quarter to four when we had it all rubbed to a foot above the stop bead drove straight into the peak and washed it off again. Next day finally got it on again. No skin off my nose got paid for it the three days like, but a while pain all the same.4tubs each time, so old boss paid for a Gable 4times lol good nuff for the miserable f**k*r. Lol

Render around the window felt right in front of me , customer , his wife and sme other trades while explaining them how good the render is. Maite around the window with mesh in the morning and few hours later spray. f**k**g render came off with the mesh, total embarrassment. If I have to use maite now is always the day before. There is a reason to be called shaite, the only material I hate without limits!

My mate caught the dirty water bucket from a full loft conversion on the newell post and poured the lot down a new cream carpet straight through the sheets :mad: It was the wifes birthday and I rolled in 3 hours late.
 
Early 90s me and my mate were above the main ceiling in a multiscreen cinema in Bracknell fixing more galv angle to the purlings to strengthen what some rough c#nt had put up .

Ha the old s**t in a bag did that at a mates . His mam came to tidy up and she picked the bag up which I had filled with rubbish and he said watch all s**t doesn't drop out mam
 
I set fire alarm off at a hospital in Wigan once and they evacuated everyone, pushed old bids out in their beds the lot. Once cut the wrong side of a stop tap, we had some scaffolders set up the wrong house once. My uncle (plumber) told me that new plaster Iv got is really good he said that white stuff he borrowed a bag to patch up a flue said it was brilliant, he had used dry wall adhesive lol. My cousin (plumber also) had a pipe freezer on a job in another hospital just as he cut into the pipe the ice let go 70degree water spraying out everywhere too hot to cap off it filled the room with steam, again had to evacuate hospital ward
 
Seen a mass brawl 15 trades one had done something to someone's van they kicked off and the rest joined in the fight moved off the site and into the street,

Where normal people were all just making there ways to work 9am
