Worked on a job once where the blokes' missus had bought him ONE trestle from Aldi or lidl, "Because there were loads of blokes buying them so I thought I'd get you one" :RpS_laugh:

Ive always crossed trowled and always will, or though i didnt the other day it just didnt feel right not cross trowling it

 

[beddy]

Use the pole n spat. Always cross me. Unless I'm workin for a tight fook. Like said earlier. If done right l looks the same when painted.

cut it in half

But won't that make it to low?

 

[beader]

Yes and it would make it ideal for a midget plasterer so he could reach when re'plastering after a damp course. I feel a trip to the Dragons den may be in order.

You can buy legs that fit on the ends of scaffold boards so you can make a 2.4 long hop up

Do they still make those Gary? My ones were made by Wondertex, bought in 1990 and still as good as new.
