Grouting, Coreing, working in very small spaces and off ladders
 
the one thing i hate more than anything else is going up a 3 teir ladder in awkward spots and then once you get the damn thing up you climb "carefully" to the top and a great big gust of wind hits you from the side, for someone whos scared to death of heights (like me) going up an extended ladder is the worst thing, glad i dont have to do it very often. lol.

other than that i hate finishing off where others left and their work leaks when you liven it up, grrrrr
 
one of my worst night mares ever is been fouling of a triple ladder ....ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh :(
 
I hate hanging radiators, lost count in the mid eighties of how many Ive hung and I detest it even more now
 
1. Nightclub toilets after a busy weekend!!!!
2. Landlord Certificate in a big city close to me... Went in an the scruff pit had a lad smoking crack in the front room. Mum walked in an said the eternal words " i only have one rule in this house an thats we don't smoke crack!!!!"
3. Even though i'm a retained fireman i hate ladders!!!!
 
" " i only have one rule in this house an thats we don't smoke crack!!!!" ------in the morning only .....we do it all day long and all the visitors must have some as well, you self fish :) :) :) "
 
i hate heights. i hate lofts that aren't boarded. i hate customer supplied ladders to get into said lofts, usually just three steps and very wobbly. i hate inaccessible bath taps. i hate cream carpets when working on radiators. i hate customers hovering over your shoulder.
 
I have no problems with working at heights, through experince I have found that I hate gravity!! Its a nice feeling when yer actually flying through the air but the trick is avoiding the hard bit at the end of the flight now that does hurt
 
never have just in my night mare but i always get to weak up on the way dawn ........thx god have not had that dream for long time

we bought rather alot of quinn rads from pts very cheap for landlords they are the worst rads i have ever hung the brackets are welded on in different places on the back you have to measure them first had one tyhe other day with 10mm differences between them
 
To be honest falling from heights is just the luck of the draw I have done it many times without injury but one of my mates was loading a skip with a wheel barrow a few years back the wheel barrow slipped and he fell no more than about 36" and broke his back, its not as if he was a ten stone weakling either.

forgot to mention that the affor mentioned mate is a roofer who is also afraid of heights and that was before the accident fortunately it took 18 months before he got back to work but he is still roofing
