My professional trowel thoughts.

[TwoWhalesInAPool]

Hey guyz, I know how much you all are enjoying this thread.

My hands are HUGE hardened muscled meat slabs now after 51 years of bricklaying. I did keep my first trowel from when I started out with soft hands as an apprentice in 1959. I used that trowel every day for 10 years before it became too worn, and I had to replace it with a Marshalltown.

Good morning guyz,

This was me on site yesterday when I found out Big Doug had scoffed all the Hobnobs again, the posh ones with 'chocolate' on.

Bastard.

Hey guyz it was my turn to come up with something for lunch at work on site this week, and so I quickly rustled up this beefy treat in my garden the day before.

The lads really enjoyed it, I must admit.

Had to bring this thread back. Totes amazeballs trowel tips cannot be forgotten!!

I am sure the work in Bolton, with you looking terribly splendid while on the job, went brilliantly!

Hopefully, 'Brickie of the Year' awards were presented.

Lol, I cracked up reading through this thread, TwoWhalesInAPool.

I bet when 'Fred' disappeared for weeks, it wasn't really because he was banned again, it was because all 23 discs in his spine popped simultaneously after he attempted the 'wheely bin test'.

Filled a wheely bin with 4 x 25 kilo bags of cement, 1 x 25 kilo sand and then topped it up with water. Left it for a week to allow the cement to set hard, rock hard, refilled the water to the brim and then tried tipping the coagulated blob into a wheelbarrow.

hehehehehe!

Btw, Lady, how did you resolve your wheely bin dilemma in the end, or are the bags still in it, lol?
