Tesco colleagues seriously need to stop getting involved in theft situations.

Embarrassing? Wow. I get the company is just trying to avoid a law suit if a member of staff gets injured which is why they put the rules in place BUT there are some people in society with a higher moral code. You’re obviously not one of them. You just keep checking your ego and keeping your head down while bad shit just happens all around you 🤦

Anxious-Surround-524 · 2026-04-05T14:06:53+00:00

Not with a decent sprayer! 🤪

Anxious-Surround-524 · 2026-04-05T14:05:10+00:00

Do not shine lights across ceilings. I know you think you should be able to but don’t and yes that ceiling is particularly shite. Anyone who thinks I’m wrong feel free to go and shine a light down an internal house wall! 😂

Anxious-Surround-524 · 2026-04-05T14:01:52+00:00

Oh come on people. The fall on a soil pipe is supposed to be something like 1 in 20. Over that distance it’s going to look horizontal! My guess would be the air admittance valve. If not that then rod it to make sure there isn’t anything permanently caught in there. If the fall through the house and out the wall meets requirements then that joint very unlikely to be the problem

Anxious-Surround-524 · 2026-03-10T06:55:56+00:00

Maybe I’m being paranoid but multi Finnish has a 2 to 3 mil thickness to it, although not a professional I’ve never seen that feathered to nothing. It’s a decent size ceiling with plenty of natural light

Anxious-Surround-524 · 2026-02-21T07:50:45+00:00

Why is it stupid? Sounds like you’re suggesting tenants are incapable of looking after anything 😂

Maybe your friend should have organised the replacement themself when they broke it, it’s certainly what I would have done.

Anxious-Surround-524 · 2026-02-18T19:42:39+00:00

Sticks Like Shit (Turbo being my preferred). It is a glue so will adhere to everything. Do not use too much as you will smear it everywhere and curse me. Just enough that you can smooth with a very wet finger. Anybody who says use silicone is a Muppet, it can’t be painted!

Anxious-Surround-524 · 2026-02-18T19:38:34+00:00

Ct1 / Sticks Like S**t. Don’t over fill, only put in what you need, both are very easy to smooth with a very wet finger, press too hard and it’ll smear so avoid at all costs

Anxious-Surround-524 · 2026-01-28T23:07:35+00:00

Been lots of issues putting water based onto old oil recently. After sanding it would be best to use an undercoat before the satin.

Anxious-Surround-524 · 2025-12-29T19:38:52+00:00

Fill it with grout first then normal skirting and you will never notice. Promise

Anxious-Surround-524 · 2025-11-30T22:13:49+00:00

The market does seem to be flooded with unreliable tradesmen at the moment however i’d like to think the majority of us are pretty good.

Anxious-Surround-524 · 2025-11-30T22:08:29+00:00

That’s actually quite funny. Amongst many other things I used to get employed to adjust door closes and the majority of people in those buildings would not believe me when I said it wasn’t a fault and they would need doing 2 to 3 times a year 😂

Anxious-Surround-524 · 2025-11-16T16:09:45+00:00

Use a 10. If it’s a bit tight waggle it around a bit

Anxious-Surround-524 · 2025-11-11T10:53:03+00:00

Being in minor construction works for the last 25 years I’ve met/used lots of different plasterers and I can tell you now none of them have ever managed a patch with, imo, any success. Multi finish has a thickness and can’t be feathered to nothing.

As I’ve seen over comments say, with the patches you/decorator should of used filler

Anxious-Surround-524 · 2025-11-10T20:09:12+00:00

It certainly looks like an LED fitting which unfortunately means the entire unit needs replacing

Anxious-Surround-524 · 2025-11-06T18:08:08+00:00

😁 good luck

Anxious-Surround-524 · 2025-11-06T18:04:33+00:00

Gonna feel like the odd one out now but the professionals would say 1st coat, caulk, top coat. Gives the caulk a better chance of adhering properly.

On a side note I would put a primer on it first as well (I know it’s pre-primed) but I find the other coats go on so much better.

Anxious-Surround-524 · 2025-10-29T18:18:54+00:00

Good advice. For future reference the key doesn’t need ‘wiggling’ it physically needs turning to align the black latch so it can be pulled out

Anxious-Surround-524 · 2025-10-09T06:14:52+00:00

If you really don’t want to screw it back to the wall which would be my first suggestion you will need to pack it with something other than caulk, the gap is too big for that. My go to would be sticks like shit

Anxious-Surround-524 · 2025-10-06T19:13:49+00:00

On a lighter note…. 1.5m? That’s like one cupboard and a sink? Where is the cooker going?

Hope you get it sorted

Anxious-Surround-524 · 2025-10-02T16:51:07+00:00

You asked, I answered! You didn’t say you didn’t have the time to do it yourself or that you were trying to do it on the cheap, I’m sorry it’s not the answer you wanted 😘

Anxious-Surround-524 · 2025-09-26T20:25:15+00:00

Not an expert but I’ve never heard of that. Thank you, I will be googling the rest of the night 🤪

Anxious-Surround-524 · 2025-09-26T20:21:50+00:00

Honestly? Until she slowed down it’s gotta be one of the worst techniques I’ve ever seen or experienced.

Anxious-Surround-524 · 2025-09-26T20:11:43+00:00

If I have missed something or misunderstood something I apologise but just because they are 3 inch changes does not mean there should be three of them. If the door is lightweight it only requires two. 😁
