    presuming it is the bridge you speak of it had rotted through and snapped.
    It was closed for approx 1 week and replaced with stone…

    to be fair hardly a mess?

    you should really seal the floor prior to painting for best results to prevent peeling etc, especially if its dusty.
    something like this will do…

    same bearing is fairly tricky to replace due to back being on an angle.
    threaded bar and assortment of washers old bearings does the trick but try drive them both in at same time to keep them square in the housing.

    edit: the drop out bearings are not the only blind bearings in there as well, the smaller bearings in the rocker plates are also blind

    i found the larger bearings in the rocker plates trickier than the horst, they need to be removed in pairs or they twist due to the shape of the rocker plates.
    I bought a bearing puller in the end, way less hassle

    prob best filled with a little expanding foam, leave to set then trim with craft knife. Finish with polyfilla.
    Thats how i would do it as a decorator

    Wouldnt use acrylic in my house, seen far to many jobs where its broken down to a dirty black sticky mess, especially on doors and handrails

    Paints changing far too much at the moment due to legislation from the eu, they seem to be struggling to get it right imo.

    Just have to stick with it and carry on turning out a good job, eventually you will only end up working for people worth working for who want decent work and dont mind paying a fair wage to get it.
    15 quid an hour isnt a lot of money for someone trying to run a buisness imo
    Trouble is with our game people ‘think’ they can decorate so dont value what we do, yet they cant be arsed to do it neither.

    edit: I dont advertise btw, nothing but trouble that with time wasters.

    trouble is with day rate ive known blokes charge 50 quid then take forever, costing more in the long run.
    Always price my work as fairly as possible.
    You can usually tell if somethings going to cause you trouble for example woodcip stripping and some otehr papers, I always give a ballpark figure of how long i think then if it take me longer its an extra. People undertand that there is no way of knowing how long it takes to strip something

    I always work out the meterage and as well as think how long something will take. then give a price, sometimes you win some you lose

    seanodav

    Depends on how much good quality work you can produce in a day i suppose.
    I charge 120+ a day and have for last 7 year but dont stop for breaks much.
    Some decorators might think what i do a day is more than a days work? who knows…
