For those who know owt or nowt about building...
 

One of my surveyors has just told me a tale of an eastern European builder working for an Asiatic customer. When challenged by my surveyor that they did not have any cavities in the walls the builder asked if he could go and buy them from B &Q…..:confused:

I think enforcement looms!!!! :smt100

Not an urban legend of course, nooooo way !

Re: For those who know owt or nowt about building...
 

Ouch, you'd think by now that all builders would know the cheapest place to get cavities is in a sweet shop? I'm sure you can get second hand cavities from any dental surgery too?

sky hooks, tartan paint, long weigh all spring to mind!

Oh I could do with some of those, house built 1900, how much are they and what size :D

Re: For those who know owt or nowt about building...
 

Oooh, 1900 house, those'll be imperial cavities - it's all metric now :( Might need to import them :(

EDIT: Good news is, they don't weigh much so shipping should be cheap :)

Oh come ON!!!! Everyone knows you can't buy cavities. At least not from B&Q anyway.














I've always found that the best place to get them from is Travis Perkins. Jewsons are waaay too expensive! A reclamation yard is a good bet too. :D

Skirting board ladders is a fav of mine. Actually got a girl that was working for me to call B&Q to see if they had any!! They said they didnt have any in stock. To this day, she still thinks that exist, and good show to B&Q Charlton.

No-one's mentionned a glass hammer yet.

Got a few of the new starters over the years at my uncles old double glazing firm when I was kicking around helping out (read: hindering).

A bucket of steam was always my favourite.
