Anyone wiping the fat from their trowels on door frames? I remember serving my time and this was common practice will other plasterers ,the gaffer would do his nut, havent seen it done in years .
 
we bought a brand new house few yrs ago and popped onto the site to take some measurements for furniture and stuff...pre warned missus to expect a mess as plasterers had just finished! never seen such a mess in my lifethough work wa mint! but f**Kinell ive never seen such a mess every single door frame was full of fat wipes think they were even struggling for space on some of them! floor was like summet out of somme honestly dont think theyd scraped cleaned the floor all week i think that the sites labourers were expected to do the lot when theyd finished poor f***ers!

Even if you didnt have to i couldnt have worked like that for a week f**k that my ocd wouldnt be able to cope lol!

I carry my hawk with me and scrape the fat off the Walls and go find a little ceiling to lay on with it lol
 
I think as everybody gets older the cleaner you get, I use to not mind getting covered in dust and muck now it bugs the hell out of me... We had site labourers clear up after us but we still did a fair bit ourselves
 
cleanliness in plastering is probably the most important section of the whole trade,its the difference between the chancers andthe tradesman.i was always taught to clean BEFORE i plaster ie a soft sweeping brushand give room a nice brush the better the work enviroment the better you will feel.i always try to get an empty room prefer to spend half an hour getting stuff out than 8 hours battling with it in the way
 
Damn right rock!

I insist on all rooms i work in being totaly empty, even turned work down in the past when theve moaned about not being able to clear everything etc! though only people i have a little tolerance is oaps but even then when i price up i explain that we need a clear run and ask if they can arrange with relatives/friends etc for before the day of plastering.

Though i always find they do the most to help you/themselves its the spoilt f***in 20s 30s summets that are f***in bone idle chufin grown blokes getting there dads round to remove rads and curtain rails etc....absoloutly embaressing there the ones that will strip 80% of the wall paper then owt thats a bit stuburn gets left...F**in hate em!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!:RpS_mad:

on the hawk then in a bag when its built up a bit-cant be dealing with that edge of a bucket mallarky-get upset when the boy washes his trowel without scraping the fat off first it makes the water F*****g filthy and its disgusting-saying that though he just thinks im a miserable moany focker
 
You cannot wipe it on frames on domestic works . The trick with domestic is to sheet off mask tape , cover windows all saves time when you are done and want to get going home.
 
I find the George foreman grill is the best to use,
collects all the fat in the bottom of a tray for you:RpS_thumbup:
