I normally do it off towers but every single room be it a bedroom cupboard/bathroom etc etc Is 4m+ high right pain in the ass of a job. don’t seem to skim normal houses anymore, fuckingg doing my nut in, mind u rather this then skimming Karen’s nicotine stained artex ceilings

Once you've found the stilts you then have to find a spotboard stand.

We've got two just like that, they're my preferred method on big ceilings, even when they're not much over 2.4m high.

Ol' Red was a hell of a crate, another victim of the Accrington debacle.
Told you not to wear those bloody slacks, absolute fanny magnet they were.

So just for clarity; you mounted Bob five, sometimes six days a week and then when he went 'awol' you just got yourself another Bob, and both these Bobs were coloured?
