Loft work

[gaspastemania]

Quite frankly working in a loft sucks !!!!

 

[Resolute]

Couldn't agree more!

 

[kay-jay]

is it the insulation? the dust? or those big hairy spiders?

Erm yeah! I posted it in one of the 'hated jobs' thread that was so popular on here.

Shame it sucks so much as there is a fair bit of it in our game. It's not just the lofts. Its the itchy insulation. Horrible. Itching from it right now, even after my shower.

They are always to small, to dark, to hot and they make me itch

 

[Dannypipe]

If they're not boarded they're also like something out of an Indiana Jones movie. Tip toeing about and one wrong step....disaster!!!

HA!! Oh yeah, just rememebered, I was up a loft once, the customer wanted to come up and talk it through with me. I'm up there, and I turn around and hewas standing one leg each side of a joist, on the board. To this day I have no idea how he got away with it. I just said:

"STAND ON A JOIST" and then explained how close he came to ruining his day and love life.

Lucky he was a little bloke I guess.

I'm also fond of banging my head on every availbale overhead beam.

One thing lofts are good for, swearing in. I swear and curse loads in lofts.

The only plus point is you won't be bothered by customers in the loft. You can scratch your rse and dither, muse and faff all you like. But in this weather they are unpleasant places to be.

Couldn't agree more is like having a spout of tourettes !!

i hate the blown in type insulation on a hot day you come out of the atic looking like a half plucked turkey

 

[Dannypipe]

Ah, but that stuff doesn't itch. So it's not so bad in my opinion.

 

[Billy Bob Bob]

but it makes a right mess

 

[Dannypipe]

True, but I'll take the mess over the itch any day. Just my personal view!

 

[gaspastemania]

Is it me or does anyone notice the itching is at its most annoying at about 3 a.m
