Pissing vinyl layers

[Maha]

On Target tonight, the hidden camera part is on Vinyl Layers. One retailer used (on the North Shore) is of the same group that contract too here in Warkworth, I would like to at this point say, it not me....:rolleyes:

I found this out this morning, the Retailer here seems a little worried that it could effect his business. One of the North Shore layers does a bit work up this way for the store I work for. Turns out, its not the same guy but, OMG, he used the toilet while at the Traget house!!! when will the madness end?

I use the toilet often when working, im a very pissy person, would they rather I go piss in the garden or, would they rather I bring my own container?

Turns out, the shop that got the job, didnt want it and quoted high...(yeah whatever, we'll see) so they are probably the dearest and get this, the person they sent out to do the job was not even a tradesman.

[The Pastor]

did he piss in the shower?

[Maha]

did he piss in the shower?

I would hope not, I am going to say no, he used the toilet. The guy who used to work for us would always take a dump at the house we were working at, only if there was nobody home but still, thats something I have never done and wont do.

On the doorstep...?

[ynot slow]

Hell most people that have tradesmen,and if going away from their home usually say "the jugs there,tea,coffee,milk help yourself".Well the ones our layers used did,but small town,established company etc helps.So what is the problem of using the toilet ffs,if client is home they let you use it.

[Stirts]

On the doorstep...?

In the pillow cases!! Would give Target something to actually piss and moan about!!

[Maha]

On the doorstep...?

No but, once, Tim (our ex worker) lifted a toilet to take it outside (at times, makes the install easier) and when he almost got it out the door, he noticed a Turd hanging out the back of it, it dropped off on the doorway and he stood in it....:laugh: I told the lady and she said ''bloddy kids''.....:rolleyes:

Happens here Tony, people dont mind at all, but Target have thier own set of rules when it comes to tradesmen. Some cool folk even make me lunch.

Or even wipe his nob on their pillows.

Are there any left?
I know my brother did a 3 yr apprenticeship in carpet laying/planning and vinyl laying, but that was centuries ago!
I thought most 'pet layers these days walked in off the street, picked up a knife and went to it..........

Well thats how I got started John, walk up to a Carpet layer and said ''can you teach how to lay carpet'', He looked at me and said '' bring a cut lunch and i'll meet you here tomorrow at 8am'', that was back in 80-81....I have put three guys through an apprenticeship over the years, but now, I rather work by myself.


:rolleyes:As long as you piss in the toilet and not the shower youll be all right :laugh:

I can go at least four times before midday, I am so glad most of the houses I work in have boggs!!!!

[JimO]

cracks me up, they moan if the tradesmen piss in the bushes, they moan if they piss in the toilet, they moan if they piss in the sink. Im a Tiler and have similar problems with people , some go to work and say help yourself others go to work and dont leave the key if you are working outside so no power and no toilet.I had one lady say " i finish work at 3 can you start then"....NO, ..........had a job a couple of years ago where there was a jar full of $$$ sitting on the kitchen bench, either a trap or the people were real slack, had another job where the old lady would lock the door behind me everytime i went outside to get something, so i had to bang on the door to get back in

[allycatz]

Christ when my ex and I owned floor laying business I was more concerned about the discusting messes we found under beds etc and were expected to shift before we could uplift their crawling carpets and put more down....eww I'd go home and jump straight in the shower

We were talking about that very thing today, over the last 27-28 years there have some 'trying' conditions, a rental that I visted one day, owner wanted carpet ripped up and floors Poly'd, I started to pull the old shit up and the Fleas!!!!!, my legs were covers, fucken straing outside to the nearest tap, the home for a shower, ''see ya mate'', get that sorted then give me a call.

Yeah that was common place under the beds along with the dirty knickers and used condoms and vibrators and dried up cat shit

I picked up some dried (before the white stage) dog shit once, in a wardrobe, thought it was a small pine cone....:(

[Laava]

We caught a young gib stopper shitting in a service duct on a brand new commercial building. There were toilets there, he was just a dirty little coont!

[JimO]

dont know if its true but years ago a plumber told me if he didnt get a cup of tea from the owners at smoko he used to piss in the header tank

[ynot slow]

We pissed ourselves a while ago,the boss had just seen Jackass movie,where the guy took a dump on a toilet in a plumbing store,that day the boys placed the bog outside,and by a few trees,almost looked like an outdoor toilet with shelter,a builder almost used it.

An old layer(rip)wanted me to help him uplift a bedroom,and help him in with carpet,the elderly lady met us,first thing layer said was "Hi I'm Dave and like plain scones and jam for smoko",went back that arvo to help shift furniture,and said how long you known Mrs...,he said today,cheeky bugger.

And the stupid thing is when the guys see a camera and comment it might be target,then still do stupid things.

Or a very early toilet trained one. Funniest thing I think one of my babies did, was to use a waiting to be installed, brand new toilet pan that was sitting in the lunchromm of our packhouse. She must have been bursting, because she ran up to it, dropped her pants and let rip! I am sure our staff will never be the same again :lol:

But seriously, complaining about a tradesman using the toilet? I would only complain if he left the seat up :nono:

This is a must watch in our house tonight.

Had an old Greek labourer do that, 17 stories up in the stairwell slipform.....don't know what the guys who happened to be working at the bottom, thought of that......

[ynot slow]

Saw the last 2 guys,everyone pulls the gas bottle by the hose eh.The thought of sanding prior to FLC is a bit ott,he would've seen the glue residue and probably scraped it up with the lifting anyhow.If the pattern was out along the bath,and square all other areas it aint the layers fault the wall isn't square.Agree that it can have detrimental effect on business.

I have to admit, this one time at work with a very dodgy guts, I had to go like a mad bastard to lay the drain to the septic tank so I could(be the first) to use the clients brand new toilet. (I am soo sorry) I was really crook, and it was touch and go as to wether I would make it on time (picture THAT scene from american pie) , man I was sweating like a rapist.
on a building site, no shelter, no facilitys yet, no chance of making it to safety in the ute.......

I cleaned the bog really well after that.

[Mom]

No pee to be seen afterall! Guess they must have edited it for highlights or something, common sense prevailng perhaps?

I will leave the really technical aspect to the man, but one thing I will say is dropping your waste in the garden is not on, and how the hell can you get your FLC to dry in the weather we have had recently without encouraging it a little with a bit of heat?

[Maha]

I would question the gas bottle being there in the first place??
Heatgun at best if you must.
One guy put down a skim coat of feather finish by looks, no floor leveling there. Drying it off? yeah I do that, with heatguns though, the heat is more gentle.
The floor should have been overlayed.
As for being square? if you are installing a tile patterned vinyl, almost certainly never have a grout line close to a wall and you can always centre the vinyl.

[ynot slow]

Most of the guys I know use low heat gas to dry off,but only on concrete floors,not wooden,they use heat gun otherwise,my mistake.

Have seen a guy in a new home try to install tile look(25x25cm)in a kitchen coved all round,there was no way he could get it perfect,so laid it straight and square where it was seen,the kickboards were all fine so that wasn't problem,he just adjusted a couple of legs under the bench,packed them out 15 mm,placed toe recess back on and when coved looked primo,and he was bloody happy.He and I kept pissing ourselves as he'd swear at vinyl,then I'd swear that there was no timber for curtain tracks to fix,bloody Friday arvo job which took both of us at least 2 hours longer than we thought.

[allycatz]

I glued myself into a corner one day, was so proud of my trowelling till I realised I was stuck...and the rotten buggers on site watched me do it:oi-grr:

Seems that happens a lot,most of the apprentices where I used to work got cornered.

Some of the older guys still tell good yarns from 40-50 years ago.One guy went out to the backblocks so took his overnight bag as he thought it was to much for 1 day with travelling,also took his rifle in the van,as he got close to the farm a couple of deer were seen grazing on the verge about a km away,he stopped got out and wind in his face got to about 200mts,boom and tea was gutted.Arrived and told the cockie about his luck,turned out it was one of their pets grazing the long acre.The fact was he shot the older one of the two deer,and it was tough as was some comfort to the grandkids of the farmer.

Another layer did a job on the Maui oil platform back in the late 70's,he wasn't contracted but an employee of our firm,had about 2 days work in the control area,turned out he was stuck on the rig for another day and a half due to weather conditions.

[allycatz]

Was funny sometimes when we turned up for a job and scantily dressed ladies would answer the door. They'd look awfully embarrassed when I walzed in with the underlay instead of my partner...got dressed pretty quickly

[Laava]

Must say I was disappointed! Was hoping to see some wanton domestic urinating but no-the closest they got was pulling their hoses!

Like the mechanic who used to get his wife to bring customers cars from the yard into the workshop because she had a stronger stomach than he did and could sit in them with less chance of puking.
Some people are worse than pigs

[Headbanger]

You all need to harden the fuck up.

Ever worked on a live sewer?, I tell ya, Its not as glamorous as it sounds.

Were you actually working though, or just going through the motions...?

[Headbanger]

The hard case thing was, It wasn't meant to be full, we were hooking up the feed from a brand new subdivision of about 300 units to the main line.

Against strict orders everyone on site over the previous year had been shitting in the toilets, so when we pulled the plug we had a tsunami of poo, The poor fat bastard who pulled the plug was swamped in the shit up to head height, he was screaming like a girl.

That's Gold. :clap: (best Footy Show voice)

Damned (by Target) either way.
