You have to apply for a licence for any work being done on Sundays here. They wouldn't issue one for WCing, unless it was a hospital or something like that.

If you got that done in one day, well done mate, must have been grotty though :)

Post by: pingu on September 21, 2009, 07:10:26 am: Cozy how long do you reckon doing trad...? most shops and the like are shut Sundays but working on things like this is perfectly fine.

I prefer to do jobs like this on Sundays as I do not have to put up with idiot people walking under the pole, messing with the hose and generally being thick.

Cheers
Dave.

Post by: cozy on September 21, 2009, 01:26:33 pm: Depends mate, from those pics, if you only have to go over them once (Which I doubt) then, a good 8 hours. Hard to tell really, as I hate to make a guess on pics lol ;D

To tell the truth mate, I've had enough of those jobs. If I get any like it, I sub out the stuff to a good mate of mine.
We always work in two's and I think that it was bad with all the spiders etc.Would still need 5 hours with two of us.Whats the score with the insides?

Like you said, easier on a Sunday, but it's a legal point here in Boxhead land.It would mean filling out 40.000 forms in triplcate, two weeks in advance, before I could do it on a Sunday.

Post by: pingu on September 21, 2009, 05:36:07 pm: Each piece of glass had to have all the cobwebs removed then cleaned twice...so in effect each piece of glass needed to be cleaned 3 times...ok it's all green mirrored glass/slightly transparent.

Cheers for the response Cozy...
