gloss painting needed

Hi


I need help with a load of gloss painting ASAP. Not worried about qualifications, just skill (like my dad!).


Anyone who would like some work and is decent at glossing give me a shout. Suit retired or unemployed with good DIY skills.


Needs a good finish so please don't bother unless you are good at it! Doors, door frames and stairs to be done.

Hi Sue,


I'm retired, have worked as a professional decorator for some time in the past and have worked on my own house to a very high standard for many years.

Sorry, but I can't stand using gloss, or any other petro-chemical paint and why do you think that people are going to come along and work for nothing for you - these are desperate times? Are you seriously disabled, aged, on benefits or in a very desperate financial situation? Anyway, sounds like you live in a bit house - thinking of letting it out when it's all done up?


Cheers, no offense meant.

Are you psychic ? Where does the poster say she wants it done for free? Or lives in a mansion?

My plea to the poster is not to give cash in hand work to those on benefits. You know they won't declare it, meaning they are effectively stealing from the tax payer; and you are giving them a helping hand. Would you be a lookout for a thief breaking into a house?

And yet highly offensive, i*rate - especially the questions regarding the poster's financial position and the 'letting out' insinuation. And I don't see anywhere in Sue's post that she wouldn't be paying for the job! In fact, quite the contrary - as she says it's for 'anyone who would like some work...' That usually means paid work.

Crustyrack and buddug,


My sincerest apologies to Sue_Fidler if my remarks were offensive in any way. I did get hold of the wrong end of the stick maybe, but did'nt see any mention of money or rates.

I do hope someone needy and willing to work hard takes the job on - cash-in-hand, whatever.


Cheers.

    • Fair enough point, but does that not in a way make it even worse if they open a shop almost directly  opposite another "family" business selling exactly the same type of products?
    • As Occado source from Waitrose, and were their only deliverer at one stage, and as Waitrose do now deliver it may be they feel their reach in ED is sufficient to mean having a local outlet would not gain them sufficient additional sales to be cost effective. The movement to delivery rather than physical shopping during Covid has I believe substantially changed the grocery economics. So it may be that the High Street dynamic for physical shops has now changed. 
    • ..... thinking about the discussion about Chango.  Their "About us" blurb on the website says started by one Argentina guy.  So if one person has a successful business and goes on to open a number of shops when do they go from a supported successful "family" business to a less liked "chain"?  
    • I used to buy a brand of olive oil called 'Il Casolare'. It was unfiltered, often on offer in Sainsbury's and came in a really nice bottle with a stopper. When it was finished, I'd soak the label off, fill it with Morrison's own-brand vermouth and use it for cooking as it lasts longer than keeping wine open. One night there was very little else left to drink, so we got into it - I told people it was a difficult to find artisanal brand I'd brought back from Barcelona and that it should be pronounced 'Vermut'. People loved it. I gave away a couple of bottles as Christmas presents the next year.
