yeah, he sould earn his money i think lol
i could dot and dab if i tried it i expect, but its on of those things where if you fuck it up and get it a bit out etc, your work tops wont fit square and itll look shit.

so nailing it on to the studs (well, screw) and joists etc should be painfree hopefully! i have 2 accro props and a couple of mates to help lol

hes ordering 170 boards, so there is a lot of work involved. the guy that done the brickwork can plaster and had offered to do it, but hes a builder by day and as you said, would be evenings and weekends so will take time to get done, this way matey can just come in and bang it up. we just want it done now asap - getting fed up of sleeping on a matress on the floor and having nowhere to put stuff...

for instance i had to go into the loft earlier to retrive the xmas decorations as she wouldnt just leave the tree bare like i suggested... cunting stuff was at the back of the very packed loft wasnt it!
