    Working for the older generation is the best. Today we had about 4 cups of tea, cheese and ham toastie and Victoria sponge cake and custard creams! What a customer.

    Yeah mate, I don't do a lot of sanding, maybe 6 jobs a year? I hire it from safety flooring supplies in slough. All bona pro belt sanders, edgers and trio to finish. They hire absolutely every tool in flooring,

    £250, but I've been going there since the company I first started with. If that makes any difference I don't know?

    That's the only thing I haven't ventured into, always thought that it was too much effort for too little return and problems

    Well the way things are out there its worth being able to take on as much work as possible. I'm pretty quiet this week so glad I started taking on the sanding jobs again. Life's much easier since the trio come about ;)

    Customer said ''looks very nice but one of the blocks in the hallway seems lighter than all the others''. Really?

    Joker, it's a natural product how the hell are you going to get them looking the same and why put down wood rather than a laminate if that's what you wanted?
