Just done a periodic today with 6x 6 way D.Bs and about 3 pages of defects so plenty paperwork. loaded the van up an drove off. If was at the roundabout onto the duel carrigeway i saw the folder slide of my roof and the paperwork scatter everywhere. I couldnt do a uturn so lost the lot. I still havent worked out what to say to the boss as i have to go back to do it all again.

I was using a wall chaser the other day with a pipe to attach a vacuum cleaner.

I found out the hard way that the vacuum cleaner actually needs to be SWITCHED ON to get rid of an dust!!

A freind of someone i was doing a C&Gs course with apparently was sent to cut in a resessed outdoor meterbox so he marked out box on wall drilled a big hole at each corner and then used consaw to finish, he then was walking bak to van to get lump hammer to knock out blocks when he peered thru kitchen window to see nothing but dust as it turned out it the kitchen used to be a single walled garage before being converted.
