least favorite job

[ajones]

What is your least favorite job on the constuction site,I think for me it would have to be rehanging a reclaimed door in a old frame or lining. [mad]

 

[jvsteenb]

Plastering. Hate it, and will try to subcontract it whenever possible.

Ha, that's what I did yesterday. It took the two of us a day to hang five doors. No fun at all.

I think that is what we call fiberglass insulation, it's one of my least favorites too.

On a construction site:  Correcting  mistakes made by others (or even, sometimes, by me).

On a renovation or repair site:  Plumbing.

Itchy back

and I have hurd other names and I was like what you on about so seems like people just call it what ever they feel like here in the UK

Itchy back

I always hear lots of people are easily irritated when handling glasswool. I must have a skin like a rhino because it never bothers me and have no problem handling it.

The job I really dislike is painting the ceiling or a stairwell with latex. Brrr.  [sad]

Well Tom you have me with this one I have no idea what scope change wire is care to enlighten the ignorant?

it looks like the glassfibre is winning at the mo.

On the last job I did, there was a change made at the last minute before the wallboard went up and after the fiberglass batting insulation wan installed. The owner wanted more outlets and different kinds. Some of it passed through several galleries so it meant drilling holes and pulling wire in and behind the insulation or taking it all down and replacing it.

I didn't have time to take it down so it was several hours of working in the insulation, literally in it.

Not like i ever did it,but cleaning porter-patty!!!! [scared] [eek]

 

[WarnerConstCo.]

Carrying 9' Advance wall forms, the 24" outweigh me by at least 50 pounds.

I got you beat Brice, I spent 10 hours getting one exterior door to open and close correctly.
I had to straighten a jamb in a 150 year old double brick house.  Hinge side was good but the strike side was out 3/4".

Another one is  Kingspan insulation ( their are many other names for this type of insulation)  Definitely when the rafter or joists are tapered or twisted or bowed its rubbish getting it to fit snug its either to tight or to loose it all drops on your face and really makes your throat tickle when breathing a lot of the dust in

 

[Rob-GB]

Any type of insulation but celotex is probably top of list. The dust from it is statically attracted to my glasses and always ends up on the inside of the lens then jumps into your eyes  [mad]

Then Painting. If I wanted to be a painter I would have had my brain removed, turned 45? (45 degrees) and replaced.  ;D ;D
Rob.

Edit: because ALT+0176 does not return the degree symbol  [huh] on this forum.

Cleaning up

 

[GhostFist]

Fixing other peoples screw ups is number one on my list right now as I've been chasing the hack around this whole bloody house I'm on for about two months now. But i do hate demolishing plaster and lathe quite a large amount as well

My pleasure came with a bathroom leaky sink !!  Well thats what homeowner said. Leaky sink, leaky bathtub, leaky toilet. Over a much longer period of time than oh its just been leaking for about a week.  Lets maybe say months.  Bathroom sits above a small crawlspace with a small window size opening to get in to fix.  Did I say leak?  More like a BLEEP BLEEP waterfall.  I must of been stupid to stay and fix.  Cardboard and plastic on top of (you know) Leaky toilet, the squeeshiness under my back and don't forget the pleasant aroma that wifted through the air. I don't want to sound like I'm complaining, BUTTT are you kidding me.  I must have been on drugs , or should have been. OH, and by the way, did I mention all the THINGS hatching.  O happy days 
  I love my work
