Age is an issue of mind over matter. If you don't mind, it doesn't matter.

Only 28, and a nice young girl in the metro in Paris asked me something beginning with "Vous" and not "tu". Very respectful this vousvoyer of course, but it made me wonder....

I had to give up using 13mm placo a couple of years ago because I can't lift it. All my dry lining is being done with 10mm. One day I'll finish. Need to find someone to help me load the trailer without breaking them.
On my headstone it will say: Please switch off mobile phones. I'm trying to get some sleep.

I cut the plasterboard sheets in half, the extra joints don't matter because I plaster it...I gave up trying to tape and fill joints years ago. :roll:

[mention]Crystal[/mention] long ago I purchased a plasterboard lift thingy, the two of us lift it on and I then wind it up, ceilings, slopes and once a awkward high wall.
