stick to what u know

[JPC]

i thought plumbing can be hard on the body some times. u know.....2 days in the loft trying to reach the very far corner, rolling in fibreglass, or smashing up the unbreakable cast iron bath, lifting them b****y floor boards etc.

well, i did some slabbing at mine for 2 days last week.
my hands r ****'d
my backs gone
my leg muscles ache
i trapped a finger between slabs
i cracked about 6 slabs that i had spent good time cutting to size.
i'm still caughing up cement dust
i got some sand or summit in my eye ( after that i wore eye protection)

next time i'll plumb and leave slabbing to a slabber
