my worst was good few years back had extension built over garage only doing it as a foreigner at weekends all plastering.all walls were been done in browning ceilings standard board skim.garage ceiling to comply with regs double board or fire board.had loads of boards borrowed from council thought be clever bang normal boards on skim of we go nobody any wiser how wrong collord by building inspector had to re do the lot.lesson learnt and costly.blamed labourer when he whent home.lol

one of me all time favourites and the old gaffer still reminds me when we meet.workin on this house in posh part of cheshire any ways down stairs ceilings had all been skimmed and working upstairs governer ask me to get another mix no probs so walking back with mix to spot board couple of sections of floorboard missing as elec or plumber stillgot bits to do,so all morn been stepping over this no probs this time i steps over it me old doc martins catch head of a nail sticking up trips bucket of finish everyware foot through ceiling gaffer not happy,cleans up gaffer goes downstairs cuts out damaged section repairs tidy job no worries,about 3ish having smoke and a brew says to me how the flipping hell did you manage that before u clumsey so and so.so i says i dont no i just did this.i only kicked the flamin nail again and did same straight through again 7 oclock before got home he new i was going out but i darent say out because it was my fault,any way when he dropped me of and said see you in the mornin young un i was relieved as thought that was the end of plastering career.was only sixteen mind lol still have nightmares about it .

lol gotta no how to break things fore you can mend em mate,textured a house last week an did the chimny monday,noticed today after the scaffs been dropped that its a different colour,(can you post pics an ill put one on)i hope the clarks as colour blind as i am cause cat ladders s*** me up!

do pardon my profanity i had forgoten how sensative tilers are!

Mine was a floor screed 20years+, Was in a panic to get the job finished and rushed it. Did'nt check my levels to well in a room and realised that the concrete was not level and sloping, Oh my god what a mess.
The screed was quite thin at one end

Not my finest
