It's Friday night mate and the ale is in. There may be a proper reply in the pipeline. Perhaps you should not have mentioned you are a carpenter
Where abouts in Gods Country are you?

I've just been sat here chuckling to myself while reading all this attitude towards someone who is open enough to admit they're a chippy, yet advice is freely given to all the chancers and short coursers that are out there really damaging this trade and your potential earnings.

Quite agree, never know the next wood-butcher you meet on here might take the hump and set his casings all wrong... on purpose lol
 
@Rhys to be fair I can't ever remember a chippy fixing his linings how I'd like them until I've explained it several times, let alone doing it wrong on purpose lol

Site im on have switched to mdf linings, so they don't put em in till the houses are skimmed. Whch is great, nothing worse then having nothing on one side and 7or8 mm of finish on the other.
