its at this time of year that shows why b and q are taking a lot of the trade off the builders merchs, i want to work over xmas as i went away in dec for 2 weeks and need to keep jobs moving and the merch shuts down for 2 weeks!!!! ive had over 30 bags and 25 boards off b and q in this time.but worse than that is how they store there gear for example in cold damp sheds you can feel the dampness in the bags and boards and b and q keep theres warm and dry . i was skimming a house the other week and my first mix was with some b and q gear and was spot on and my second mix with gear from travis i found my self sitting there waiting for it to stiffen up approx 25mins longer than the b and q mix!! and dont get me started on plastering sand thats kept out in the rain, i got 5 bags last friday and when i opened the van monday morning it was flooded with all the sh*tty water leaking out of the bags!!!
