    Workmans U.K In Action

    I thought I'd post a pic of me in my Workmans Utilikilt. We've just finshed the last of two 18 hour days and I'm beat. We were doing remodeling at the church where I'm a member. We removed the old sheet paneling and installed pine T&G paneling. Since the building is over 100 years old, nothing is plumb, level or square making any work a challenge.


    Armageddon was yesterday. Today we have real problem.

    I like that model of UK.

    That pine paneling looks very very sharp.

    Nice photo.
    How did the kilt stand up to the work?
    Did you need the modesty snap on the higher boards?

    The challenges of working in a building that's neither square, plumb, or level, need be of no concern to someone who is obviously "off kilter".

    A Caramel Workman's to boot!

    Never thought of khaki with it, thanks for that idea, looks sharp.

    Good point, I'll have to remember that!

    Graham, the kilt held it's own and then some. It helps to think of these as Scottish Carrharts. As for the modesty snaps, they work fine but when I'm up and down ladders constantly I've found that they're more of a hinderance so I don't use them. They ARE usefull when working in public, on windy days or when the ladies are present.

    Oh the joys of working on an older building!

    Looking good all the way around, especially with that work horse of a Kilt.
