That looks like more of a market than a boot fair I'd say. I'm always wary of buying second hand tools without knowing a bit about where they're from and especially power tools if you can't try them.
A plumber friend of mine had his van emptied of everything, tools, fittings etc. It took him ages to get straight again because just when you think you've replaced it all that job comes along and you don't have that tool or fitting that you used to have!

Yeah understand what you're saying, but theses guys are there every week everything is hooked up to generators to try.
They take credit cards also.
So how careful can you be.
Spotting some dodgy fella in a beaten up transit is one thing, permanent stalls are something else.
I think anyone with a little common sense knows when they're buying something they probably shouldn't be.

Soooooo......
What should have been a quick final clean up of the screed, prime and then for boards, turned in to something different.
No surprise there then!
Instead of the original plan of tiling to the conservatory threshold, the client wants to explore possibility of removing threshold and tiling into the shadow gap under frame of doors.
Doors are being changed at a later date. :confused:
I was hoping threshold would be safety barrier between new doors being fitted and new tiles.
So what looked reasonably straight forward, cut each end of threshold that was pinned under skirting and pull out, ohhhh noooooo of course not!
The bloody door frame is actually sat on it!
So I'm now trying to chisel 2.5m of solid oak from under frame.
Just so I can tuck the tiles under frame 10mm
And of course she's sat the otherside of the doors, pretending not to watch! Haha
