Do a rolling-set (if you have a lab), or split the ceiling - half in the morning and half in the afternoon. As far as the paper stripped off - glue it or if it’s that fukced, replace the board.

I've had lads ring us for help, shitting themselves about the size......


You get round there and it's a 2½ or 3 bagger


FFS, throw something else on I'll grab the lid...


Some just aren't used to lids.....
