health & tiling

[smokie899]

talking to my mum the other day,she had just come back from the caravan. there is a guy in his very early fifties always looked healthy but this time he was on a walking stickand could not walk 20ft with out stoping for air. mum was talking to his wife she says he has got a disease in his lungs,were the bottom of them is as she puts it,like turning to stone cant remeber the name of the disease. basically parts of his lungs are going hard. the guy insists he will be back at work soon, i doubt it very much as i belive it is un-reversible. his condtion is work related

his job, he is a tiler. get those dust masks on please

Seem to remember another thread by someone warning us of this after his return from cancer. it would be nice to hear how he is anyone remember who?

Always try and mix outside if possible, God knows how many times I've pulled down old lath and plaster especially bedroom ceilings where your'd have soot laying above and end up looking like a coal man, And no masks ????????
