    A big thank you to Mr Cleary for guiding us on this one….

    The wall was 84M long and it was very cold……if you wore gloves Harry was gonna slag you 😀 😀

    Assuming the wall is a business building, what is it they do? or have i got it wrong? 😀

    do you wanna answer that Andrew?

    I don’t think I have ever been so cold, whatever way the wind was whipping around that carpark, the windburns were extraordinary, was good to work with Mr Boyle and Alan.

    It’s opposite a call centre……however the bingo call has nothing to do with the estate….which meant we were always being asked "What does it mean.."

    It’s just a talking point 😀

    trout farm lynn 😀 that would be good 😀

    Because the template had to be re-used I router cut them from 3M x 2M 3mm foamex with holding tab things [11 sheets]…..each panel had the correct base line and butted against eachother…..Wasn’t ideal but they lasted….just 😀

    Corex would have worked a lot better but needed the 3M x 2M size 😀 😀 ……

    Well done you guys…….an awesome bit of brushwork.

    Why do these jobs always come in bleak midwinter?

    Andrew, shouldn’t have listened to Harry about the gloves, fingerless mits are what you needed 😉

    Excellent work indeed

    We had something similar to do in a large car park
    Painting on brick work is not easy
    Its about 10 times longer than on smooth surfaces
    Pouncing wouldn’t work well as the walls are generally irregular
    So the scale of this work is quite an undertaking
    Certainly one for the portfolio
