Nice Job, well done boys.
Can I ask why a job like that is undertaken?
Was it purely to make the building look newer or for some other purpose?
My guess is to 'modernise' the place and conceal cracks caused by subsistence?
Again,
Big job, well done!

simply to make the place look nicer

no doubt in the end we will do the whole building
at the moment its only the front facade.............

nice work.

no evidence of you doing any work though, just your helpers

[Bushwanderer]

Nice Work!

It can be a risk hiring forumites, but they generally also recognise that responsibility and work hard to do a good job.

Congratulations to all concerned.

But then none of them can return the ewp, they're all in traction.

Hire companies hate Painters/plasters with a passion, I am an industrial painter and we use self propelled travelling booms and scissor lifts fairly regularly, we find it easier on the friendship with the hire companies if we just cover the bucket with a drop sheet and cover the base as well, in the old days I have seen lifts covered in a cement and I mean covered, the charges to clean are quiet horrendous, you and your boys did very well, you can tell a good tradesman by how he looks after his gear.
