Alright chaps
Just spent 2 days ripping down old lathe and plaster ceilings was covered in crap bag it up and get it all out side then tidy up,I think for me this is the worse part of our job (maybe only on domestics) surely no one can find a worse job in our game

The ceiling was sagging so no chance if I could overboard I would it's got to be one of my worse jobs ever feel like crap after doing it as well the Mrs moans when I try get in bed with out a shower and say I wish she was as dirty as me
 
Blowing that black s**t out of your nose for days. Pulling down old ceilings or wet dashing are the worst jobs in this game.

Moneys good though.

It's one of my worse jobs if I can over board I will but sometimes it's a case f no choice have known people to leave lathes up as well I have done myself at times just a bit more straightening out once boards are up,I don't mind the other aspects of our game and find a lot of it comes second nature when you enjoy it but no matter how many ceilings I've pulled down I still hate it

Thing is I don't even eat my lunch when I do that work cos I just wanna get it done I'm old school like that flask and pack lunch everyday not a cafe man at all
 
worked at a farm a few years back, had to rip a ceiling down- above in the attic they used to store corn, down came corn bird skeletons and rats skeletons a two hundred years of s**t
 
I got asked to do a shed base once and bloke insisted it went down at least 3ft and then hardcore I refused because I cannot stand digging by hand as well although didn't mind being on the screed pump,once in swing of it days fly by @keithuk might know the screeder I did it for bloke called Bob brown
 
Went to look at a job last night and the customer was a surveyor, his work involved listed buildings, after a short chat he said to me about pulling down ceilings in these old places and to be very very carefully as the have had some tested and some of the ceilings contain anthrax spores and it was worse than asbestos, as I say these were listed buildings

Woman said I don't want them do you so I took them and got 80 bunce from the tat yard for them!

Result :-)

I like it when all the old copper falls out :D had some right results with that :D
 
Won't rip them don't anymore.. We just counter baton with 3x2, use long screws with washers on to get a good puchase then drive them in with the impact drill....

I had to rip out a lathe turn under a staircase last week and mesh and bond it back in. If anyone can suggest another way of sorting one of these i'm all ears. It's the only way!
