25.01.2022 A nice little home theatre, certainly wouldn't want to wake up to it with a hangover!!!

25.01.2022 The customer's view, then my view to the job. #dontlikemondays

24.01.2022 When carpeting inside built-in robes, I like to remove the doors to give me better access. This little chappie was hiding up in the recess, playing a game of peek-a-boo!!! Not quite the size of my hand, but big enough that it was fortunate that I was in an empty new home, as I invoked just about all of the heavenly deities!!!!

24.01.2022 I guess it could be worse, I could be working outside in the rain!!!

23.01.2022 Getting busy in carpet land. Fully booked next week, then off to Byron for a few days the following week. There are limited days available in August, so get in quick!

21.01.2022 When the client provides the carpet and you know it has already been layed previously. Second hand carpet will usually be very stiff, and difficult to get decent stretch out of. Best installed on a hot day to soften it a little!! Thankfully no heating vent holes to contend with! ... #workingtothesamestandards

20.01.2022 Underlay, set up and finished job....

20.01.2022 Yep, one of those days! Can't even get a cigarette paper under that door! Every one has to come off!! Joy! #theunseenglamour

19.01.2022 Spring clean time in carpet land! Got two pieces here, both really good quality textured carpet. Each piece is 2.2x3.6m, the coins are there to give you an idea of how nice and chunky the profile's are. (I'm Scottish, you don't get the 30c as well!!!)... Need them gone to make room for other things!

19.01.2022 New Year, new carpet? Let me know what you have in mind, and I'll get the ball rolling on your new project.

19.01.2022 Alrighty then, it's time to get this carpet laying juggernaut back on the highway! Get in touch, and we'll get your carpet needs sorted.

19.01.2022 If you have a question, or just need a little advice on your carpeting needs, don't be shy, ask away..........

18.01.2022 We're coming into the silly season, and the carpet universe is not immune to it! This is my busiest time of year, so if you have an installation that needs to be done before the big bearded guy swings by, best get in touch this week.

18.01.2022 If you see a carpet layer on your travels today, hang around to see them lift the carpet into the property. You just might be entertained by the sight of them spiraling off into the distance (or nearest lamp-post), as the wind catches a hold of the carpet!!!

18.01.2022 How is everyone out there Stage 4 land holding up? The novelty here has worn off, and I'm peachy keen to get back on the tools. Fingers crossed, it's only a little under three weeks now..... Keep doing the right thing folks

17.01.2022 AH HAH!!!!!! Now I know why they needed someone of my physique!!!

16.01.2022 So far from home, yet so familiar!

15.01.2022 I have been doing a fair bit of work in regional city's of late, Bendigo, Ballarat, Shepparton, and Echuca/Moama. I understand that it can be hard to get tradies, that you know, to travel outside their locale. If you, or a friend, have a rural/regional property that needs re-carpeting......give me a hoy!

15.01.2022 I always get a bit of a thrill when removing the original floor covering in an older house, wondering what will be under there to help stop draughts.........

14.01.2022 The before and after of joining carpet. Every now and then, I get it right!

14.01.2022 Hey all! Hope you are still doing the right thing, and staying safe. Still managing to find some jobs to fill the days, but still room for more........

13.01.2022 This was my Saturday morning. It could have been worse, I could have been going to the races! I must open my betting app and see what the odds were on that!!

13.01.2022 I have few pieces of carpet that I am looking to move on......

11.01.2022 Lucky it's such a beautiful day!!

10.01.2022 WEATHER ALERT: snow on the ground in the Otways! Brrrrrrr!! Must remember to pack a pair of big boy trousers in the van from now on!!

10.01.2022 It's time to put this fella out to pasture. My original hammer from when I started this malarky in 2001! A couple of replacement hickory handles, it's driven home well over two million nails. If only I could swing a golf club that consistently!!!

10.01.2022 So, I had a couple of jobs come my way this week, which got the muscles moving a little! Empty renovations with no client contact. Jobs are banking up, so once the restrictions ease off enough to allow me to get my hands on some carpet, it's going to be a manic old time playing catch up. Hope you are all doing well, and enjoying these glimpses of sunshine we have had this past week.... Hang in there......

10.01.2022 I like to think I do a good job every day, but I have a feeling these guys will be getting a really good job done today. #thisisntthenorm #lookafteryourtradies

10.01.2022 Ok, whinge time!!!! How does the client expect us to get decent stretch on the carpet, let alone keep any pattern squared off, when they choose a wardrobe configuration like this!?!?! #breathdeep

09.01.2022 Hold the phones folks, this shutdown stuff is still evolving. Bare with me while we all try and make sense of it all, and how it will affect the day to day.......

09.01.2022 JOY!!!!!!! It's gonna be a long day.....

09.01.2022 Such chilly mornings! Nothing like laying some carpet to get warmed up!!

09.01.2022 When the client goes that extra half yard....

08.01.2022 Well, it finally happened! I have indeed been locked out! Locked out of the freedom to do my job, and provide for my family. I won't get into the politics of it all, or get onto a moral high-horse, as I suspect we are all on the same page with this situation. Take care, stick to the guidelines, and stay safe. See you on the flipside.....

04.01.2022 What your carpet layer doesn't want to see in one of the rooms to be carpeted, 950 kg of tiles (according to the boxes!)

03.01.2022 Spring cleaning? Don't worry, just do it mafia style..........roll it up in the old carpet, I'll get rid of it for you!

02.01.2022 Matching the pattern when joining a carpet like this certainly makes you earn your money......it also makes you realise that your eyesight isn't quite as sharp as it should be!!

01.01.2022 It's business as usual for me, so far, in these crazy times. So far, most people are just pointing me in the right direction, and leaving me to get on with it. Occasionally someone will try and shake hands with me and that just ends up like a couple of fools trying to do robot dancing, badly! With a bit of luck this is the only Corona bug that most of us will have any dealings with. ... Stay safe.
