Curry,The Plasterer is becoming a pawn in a game where nobody knows the rules, where everybody consequently doubts that there are rules at all, and where the vocabulary has been diminished to such an extent that nobody is even sure what the game is all about. read this reminds me of those T***s that owe you money.

They don't even understand correct snagging procedures. Who the **** submits snag sheets with out the final lighting in place. Then come back to use after hand over with the clients snags sheet which has remedial work which can only now be seen when the ceiling grid lighting is on.

When I say that they think I'm off my head blaming the lighting for poor final finishes.

High point was building my own extension (with a bit of help from my friends) and being able to keep the promise to the wife of moving into our new kitchen/diner in time for Christmas

Low point was when I started digging the foundation and was told by building control I had to go down 2.2metres. I nearly filled the hole back in again at one point and thought I'd spend the money on a new patio instead!

on contract type of work you have to argue your corner. you are only allowed to light your work area using 110v but it is being checked with 240v lighting.
this is the type of thing that happens on work for goverment contracts. you need top prices, as the sub contractors leave one man behind to do all remedial work then they snag the remedial work.
i know one clerk of the works that warn off all sub contractors on the day that they start that there is going to be a lot of problems as he is going to square the main contractor up for what they done to him when he was a subbie.
