Very bespoke. :wink: :wink: :wink: Has the builder gone for the "Rustic" look I wonder ???

Personally I think a blind man and his dog , could have done a better job.

This type of work really annoys me.

I'm no trade, but I could do (and do do(!)) a better job. Jeez, I think my wife could do a better job. Anyone could do a better job. It's actually harder to do this stuff bad.

I just feel sorry for the people who spend lots of their money on this stuff.

Feckers. :boxing:

That is terrible work!
Can't imagine how your customer must have felt, or even yourself......most likely being unable and unacceptable for you to even want to attempt painting! How did you get around that obstacle? Did the customer sand down and clean up the skirting mess (and whatever else had to be done) before you could paint, or.....what? sheesh kebabolah.

It's really surprising, and yet in many respects unsurprising y'know to see such abysmal levels of work. I'm going to start a topic I think on 'competency and skill recognition routes' and the quagmire or fight that is going on surrounding 'cowboy' workmanship versus accreditation etc.

Great collection lads. Great stuff.

Self promoting link removed
Should have read the Forum Rules:
forum_rules.htm
especially the ones about "Self promoting links"
That way you would not have been banned.
