Filthy and messy jobs

So what's the messiest job you have done???

I had to plane the kitchen floor today. It's concrete and there were three or four levels, the bumpiness was too bad to cover with self-levelling cement, so there was no choice.

The fiirst planer looked like a floor polisher, it had a mind of its own and danced across the floor as soon as I pressed the lever. So back to the hire shop for something a bit more robust. The second was a bit more substantial, very very heavy, big H*nda engine and plugged into the water supply to cool the cutter. Course, the hose sprayed everywhere....

Within 5 mins there was water everywhere, I couldn't see what I was doing, but then I got the hang of it and persevered. The damn thing kept getting water in the spark plug and then it ran out of fuel, could I find a funnel, no, so I poured - and missed Great, water/fuel mix. The water, by now a flood, gradually turned into a thick concrete soup that stank of petrol, and I was covered in this ****, and soaked from head to toe, I even had a wet willy

Several hours later, I had a nice flat (well flattish) floor, I stank, I was covered in concrete soup that took as long again to get rid of, never again

Full electrical re-wire of the house, the dust, the plaster, the wire lol its was a weekend of complete devistation.

We removed most of the house contents and covered what we couldnt remove but still we were finding everything covered in mess days later.

Has to be the re spray of the bike. Bearing in mind I was on a crash course and never done it in my life.
managed to get covered in primer and the complexion a goth would have died for.

Clean the freezer of a butchers when I was younger, blood and such all over the walls. Then had to use hay to soak up the bloody off the floor before scrubbing it.

I worked for my money in my youth. I took it out on the gutted pigs hanging up though, used them as a punchbag.

I won't even start on pulling out legs and tendons on the turkeys, but that was a cleaner job.

:0( not nice.

decided one Friday afternoon to rip up the floor in the living room, (we live in an old cottage!) and replace the really old battered floor boards with some that my parents had taken up from there place, (same age but been covered by carpet for 100 odd years so in much better nick, but still had the character) slightly miss understood what it would take to do this job with only the other half to help!

Got them up OK, cutting and relaying not too much of a problem, but my back was killing me by this point. then came sanding them back. I had hired a big floor sander and an edger, however by the time came to using the sander it was 6.30 Saturday afternoon, i realised that the floor sander didn't work!!! and being that i needed to finish the job, oil the floor, and get all furniture back in my the end of Sunday.... i ended up doing the entire floor with only the edger and a small hand held belt sander!

I have never been in so much pain in my life!! being bent over and seeming to get no ware was so de-motivational you would not believe!! and to make it worse the misses went out on the Sunday and wouldn't help so i was left on my own to do it!!!!

It was a killer!!!!!!!

saying that, when i was little my work experience was on a local estate working with the game keeper, really good fun for the whole two weeks, until he told me i needed to help him clear out the slaughter house, having realised that a deer had been shot, gutted etc two weeks ago but no one cleared up after themselves!!! the smell.......the maggots!!!! even to this day thinking of that turns my guts!!!

Used to work in an endscopy unit cleaning and maintaining the scopes. Was only really bad when people hadn't taken the "medicine" before turning up.
The messiest it got was an emergency case who burst some stomach ulcers. He had lost loads of blood by the time we got him, nurses managed to 8 units back in, although at least 4 of those pumped straight back out into the clinic room for me to tidy up after. (the chap got rushed up to theatre when we ran out of blood and they opened him up, tied the bleeders off, and he lived happily aver after)

I was cutting some flags for the patio, (about 20 flags) Well into it. But doing it properly ear protection, eye protection when I glimpsed my mate to the side waving his arms, as I looked properly he is pulling his hand under his chin.

Stop the Stilhlly and ask whats up. He says look behind you.

The garage door was wide open, the wife had put all her washing in to keep it out the way and I had stilhlied about 5 flags covering my garage, bike and wifes washing in concrete dust.
