Hi
well me and the mrs are now at the stage of logger heads as i want to press on and get some jobs done,

i cut out 2 doors round a mates house yesterday simon
what we do is prepare
roll of gaffer tape,roll of DPM,roll of hippo carpet and/or hardwood protector
before we start we move all furniture away from the work area
cover the carpet/floor with protector
cover all furniture with DPM
then seal all doors that do NOT need to be opened with gaffer tape
by the time we have done all this it looks like an ideal place to murder someone :;):
we then carry out the work and use a henry hoover afterwards
oh and i use a stihl water bottle for inside cuts now
anyway by spending maybe 1- 1.5 hours doing prep the cleaning up stage is reduced by a massive factor
30 minutes yesterday
cheers LLL :)
