I'd like to think that even if I weren't a builder and saw a load of brand new timber once I looked in the front door and saw the builders using it I'd realise it weren't rubbish.But maybe I've just got a bit more common sense than the divvy c**ts down here and the average thl member

Oooo....meow....lol

I got a Karcher pressure washer the other day....left for the scrap man....I thought it's bound not to work when I get it home....works fine

Somebody somewhere is saying “I only put the pressure washer outside for a minute because I was going to wash the car, went for the washing up liquid and by the time I got back some c**t had nicked it !” lol

Not our problem mate.Weve priced to do the groundscrews and timber extension.Loft conversion and we've just agreed to drop the chimney and scrape back loose render as an extra.We lifted a drain lid on Friday to see where the drains run before we put the screws in and the 9" drains were half full.At first we thought they were blocked untill we dug a test hole and it started filling with water 500mm down.Trouble is thes old houses have had all the suspended wooden floors ripped up and filled with concrete.pointed with sand/cement and upvc double glazing so don't breathe like they would have done years ago.

there these things called vents mate 

could the damp be coming from a broken sewer ? 

other than that you can read a tape your away lol

It's Whitstable.Old victoriana places with no footings.Just corballed brickwork going down onto wet clay.Theres a walkway behind these houses called stream walk which used to be a running stream up untill the 60s.Dig anywhere round here and you will hit water by 2ft.We even redded the drains at first thinking they were blocked then realised it was water from the surrounding ground

Working in a little terraced gaff atm up a side street with minimal parking spots so been having to stack any timber we have on the skip out the front and bring it in as we need it.must have had 20 people over the last couple of days ask"Are you throwing that away?canI have it? Oh yeah we're chucking a few hundred quids worth of brand new 6x2.Even had one sour face old bitch says well why leave it in such a stupid place?"like we were c**ts for net letting her help herself to it.

Risky but fair enough if you are working close enough to keep an eye on it. 

At least people are asking . Maybe put a sign on the skip saying it's  not not scrap and get it inside when you finish work.

Leaving it out all night would daft beyond belief!

When l landscaped it was common to pull stuff back out of the skip when we realised we needed a bit of wood ,bricks or some more hardcore.    

Anyone asking if they could take a few bits was usually  granted their request though as it meant we had more room in the skip . 

In a reverse situation.  We were once dismantling a dead conifer hedge and with no access to the rear garden everything had to be cut small and carried through the  house.

It was piled on the verge.

Strangely the pile of crappy wood didn't  seem to get any bigger.

Eventually we realised a bloke on a moped was coming past every few minutes ,stuffing logs under his jacket and speeding off.

Once he realised he'd  been sussed he didn't  come back.

If he'd asked we would've been more than willing to deliver the lot to his doorstep .

You've got a warped mind, like Laurel & Hardy, "don't lean that bent piece of wood against that wall, it'll warp!"
