They won't let any other contractors on site due to OHS Good luck Re: Builder won't let us... 19May 21, 2008 5:21 pm Hi all,
Our building is cutting, painting and then tacking the skirtings down that that we know where they are meant to go, they are ready to be laid properly etc. but we can pull them up and put our flooring underneith. This might be another option that is less work that cutting and laying them yourself. Re: Builder won't let us... 20May 22, 2008 1:05 pm Our builder "tacked" the skirting boards.
