Why don’t you just finish one before getting stuck into the other? In my experience it take longer over all if you have too many jobs at the same time... plus you feel like you never finish anything (can be quite demoralising). 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You made me laugh Because (for example) I might grout a wall in the ensuite then as I don't want to get dust on it or mess it up start on something else. TBH it was always my plan to skirt between bathroom and ensuite. Do a bit here , do a bit there. Demoralising? After 7 years I LOVE IT!

Eating render does not give you cholesterol problems; different ishoo. And you are saying he put them on wrong side out , since the sticky stuff goes between the wall and the tiles.

If I had the chance, that's what I would do. But reality sets in.... a bit of help arrives uninvited and unplanned ... rude to say " Come back next weekend " innit? So I drop everything and get on with xyz. Arrangements to meet next weekend made, .... you guessed it ... fall through. Followed by "Can you bring your digger round and ...

Equally I may eventually realise I haven’t got the right part or I haven’t got a clue what I’m doing . So I stop . Find something else that I haven’t got the right part for and I’m clueless about .An infinite loop of micro progression!!! . A perfect formula !

Ferdinand Posted October 7, 2020 Share Posted October 7, 2020 (edited) Away with all the waffle and the wibble and the circumlocutions and the justifications and the smokescreens and the babble and the blether.. They are all just men who want to learn to multitask, and haven't quite made it yet. Edited October 7, 2020 by Ferdinand 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Another completely random example might be say you were lifting a heavy shower tray with a winch and the straps came off the hook . You’d probably be inclined to “ go and do something else “ at that point in time .... ??? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That, and the fact that he had the massive balls to post a pic of his first effort.... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
