Why oh why oh why did i bother
My missus fancied doing up the bathroom ( like they do 
)
so i thought ok why not ,,,
of we went , full new bathroom sweet , new tiles to do every wall top to bottom etc
2k lighter 
Anyway , this morn we got up to remove the old tiles and wall paper to find the room had been bodged up over many years WHAT A FOOKING MESS ,,
The builder is coming later to quote for new ceiling and all new walls
wish i had just given it a lick of paint Fooking great holes and cracks everywher ,,DONT BUY A VERY OLD HOUSE

Its not that bad mate! Usually much worse when removing tiles from old plaster! When we strip a bathroom we expect to re-plaster the walls! When we did my boss's house every bit of plaster in the bathroom crumbled off with the tiles!

PassionFord Post Whore!!
Nothing in particular ,just i thought i spoted some MO`s in the workshop,and was thinking of looking at them brakes you got 
and was going to pop down to see the new premessis.
Fancy new wheels and brakes befor i go to the ring ,but not befor Kames as my slicks wont fit over bigger brakes
Bit of a quandry what to get ,i quite like the 18" foss in the for sale section ,but would need arch work ,or MO`s or TH2`s.
God i hate desicions

know what you mean mate have just started mine with the intention to tile floor to ceiling, start removing the original tiles (which only go half way up the wall) to find out that the previous guy didnt think tile adhesive was adequate so use cement an inch thick, so i need to get the whole bathroom plasted. yipeee!
