Re: Keyboards.

The sad fact is people are that disgusting, the pub project i posted on the none derailable thread was that bad in teh tennants lflat, he had lots of animals who crapped everywhere, he'd been in 5 years and not cleaned up, mould was growing on walls all over the sink and the bathroom, well wont want anyone to loose their dinner over. Put it this way, when we surveyed it, we had to wear our white overals, wellingtons and a mask. the guyn was about 30 stone, smoked and drank heavily and sometimes didn't even bother to go to teh topilet in his bathroom.

Jarre that doesn't sound like a job I'd want to do! My hat's off to you for being able to do it! I freak at cobwebs....just can't imagine seeing that.

Re: Keyboards.

You'd hate having to survey cellers and old buildings then TGM. I always carry a few esential items.

Bottle of water, good powerfull torch, a stick with a brush on the end (for knocking back cobwebs, they don't taste very nice) and a multi head screwdriver.

We still do our surveys the old fashioned way with a steel tape and clipboard.

The mess is unfortunately all part of the job, though thankfully its a rare part of it. It was typical that I got this one with one of my collegues (though hes old school and a great laugh so it wasn't too bad) The boss on the otherhand got the best survey.. a strip club needing to extend its bar area, they were trialing some new girls, though the boss didn't bing any evidence of photos so we are a bit sceptical about that

The fact is we will survey any building anywhere in the country fro the right price and do any design work for it. Normally on standard jobs the worst bit is lifting up a serwer cover to check its depth 9for connecting new waste pipes to it) you peer down and a trickle of water starts then a jobbee flys past.

After that originally mentioned survey I did shower a few times, the smell got stuck in your nostrals. Now I know how the councils muck buster team feels (there the ones who clean up flats in that kind of state and after people ahve died and been there a while)

(off topic) It certainly does make you appreciate what you do more when you think about some of the other jobs people need to do everyday. I watch a show off and on called Dirty Jobs and I've seen some stuff that nearly made me puke on there.

(on topic....sorta ) I imagine the people who clean out the flats have seen more than a few keyboards as dirty or dirtier than that pic you posted! lol Oh and another on topic point....the caps lock button placement on the Merc Stealth sucks!

Re: Keyboards.

TGM: gogo turning your Caps Lock key into a dummy button. all the cool kids are doing it.

Re: Keyboards.

Ya, I'm gonna take care of it, just lazy right now ....it just irritates me where they placed it. I put my keyboard on my lap when I play so I can recline and be lazy. So I take it in and out of the keyboard drawer on my desk and I bump the damn button every single time. >< I also hit it during play since its at the edge of the keyboard.
