    Ime up against this all the time in Spain, most of the houses i work on are old, walls everywhere so need loads of prep but British expats are a tight bunch so they have a cheap Spaniard in who blobs it out in dot and dab which looks good till it falls of the wall then call me to put it right but now have spent there money and cant afford the cost to sort it out.
    I hate them all short sighted meanies.
