Working with a company contracted to housing executive on a new window scheme, seen some sghts I can tell u. Working in a set of flats in belfast an it was horrendous think it was a case of putting all the headers an junkies into one area everyone in an out of each other's flats swapping an smoking all sorts. This girl was sitting on the end of her bed,talking to her as I worked away jus to break the ice, so I was blipping round the flat jus put on about 6 or seven heads an reveals the next time I came round to her room again she was foaming at the mouth I was like **** me here we go lol. She was getting deeper and deeper into a state an was crawling about completely walloped. Next thing she started fitting so I had to run out an get someone to come in so cut a long story short an ambulance was phoned an they ran in and started trying to bring her round all this going on an me still running round troweling like crazy. I can jus remember thinking wtf get me outa here.
Thats only one of the stories from doing that contract, worked on that scheme for about a year solid and as I said saw some sights lol

The conditions here on this care home are quite difficult at the moment, they've commissioned the underfloor heating and iv had to take my long sleeve hiviz tee shirt off and put a short sleeve one on.
And to top it off left my lunch box on the floor and the chocolate on my penguin biscuit has started to melt :-(

It was almost as bad as the time I opened the box of animal crackers, it said on the box 'Do not eat if Seal is broken'.
First one out the box and it was broke in half 'NOOOOOOOO!!!!' tried to convince meself it was a Walrus, but it wasn't gutted :-(

Fixing cornice in a room where chip pies were cutting MDF is definitely up there, that stuff can't be banned in the US for nothing.
but no doubt running in situ over a window where there was no actual window fitted, with icy wind and snow blasting in my face.

Done a job a few years back before I went on full time for the bloke I work for now,
Was a insurance job for a Pakistani family, we had to take down the existing bedroom ceailing (lath & black mortor) re board and skim.....
They had a 6 month old baby asleep in a mosey basket in the same room and when my boss asked if they could move.it they said no because she wont go back asleep, so my boss put a load of dust sheets over it and carryed on, it took the parents over a hour to realise!

Of course I'm a idiot, I'm a plasterer.
Dont worry we didn't suffocate it, and we didn't drop the ceailing with it in there.
We emptyed the room out (witch was apparently empty) sheeted everything up (mosey basket included) and got the tools up there, then made a few bangs and the parents came up.
Oh and bear in mind this family had been non stop on the phone trying to get this done, we had a day to drop the ceiling, clean up, board and skim. Nothing worse than turning up at 8am on a job that's aprenttly ready to go.
