🚨 CHEAP TINS. BIG PLANS. QUESTIONABLE DIY SKILLS. 🚨

Our clearance paints and varnishes are going at bargain prices, giving you the perfect excuse to tackle that job you’ve been “doing next weekend” since 2019.

Breathe new life into tired woodwork. Cover up that regrettable colour choice. Finally finish the project currently being used as evidence in a domestic argument.

You know the one…
“It just needs another coat.”
Yes, Dave. It’s needed another coat for FOUR BLOODY YEARS. 👀

Whether you’re a proper decorator or someone who thinks masking tape is a suggestion, pop in and see what bargains you can get your paint-covered hands on.

We can help with the paint.
The “YOU SAID YOU’D FINISH IT” conversation is between you two.

And remember: buying the tin doesn’t count as doing the job. Neither does moving it from the boot to the shed.

Pop into RGB and grab a bargain while stocks last!

👇 Confession time: what’s the oldest unfinished DIY job in your house?

A BUILDER’S MERCHANT IS BASICALLY A HAUNTED HOUSE WITH A TRADE COUNTER. 👻

People appear out of nowhere and whisper…
“Can I just add something to that delivery?”

There’s a mysterious banging from the back.
Someone’s calling for a spirit level.
And a bloke’s been standing completely motionless in the plumbing aisle for ten minutes holding a fitting nobody’s seen since 1987.

Forget telling ghost stories. Turn the lights off, put a torch under your chin and say:

“The customer’s bought all the materials themselves.” 😱

Suddenly, nobody wants to go upstairs alone.

Happy Spooky Week from RGB Truro, bring your shopping list. If it just says “that thing that goes on the end of the other thing”, we’ll need to hold a séance. 🔮😂

We need to settle a very serious argument at RGB Truro:

How many “little add-ons” can you make to a delivery before it officially becomes a completely different order?

A) One — perfectly reasonable
B) Three — still technically the same delivery
C) Seven — pushing your luck, but we admire the confidence
D) Twelve — this order has now had more extensions than a Cornish bungalow
E) Unlimited, provided every phone call begins with:
“Sorry, just one last thing…”

There is always one final bag.
One more length of timber.
A box of screws.
Some adhesive.
And then, just as the lorry is loaded:

“Can you chuck 40 sheets of plasterboard on as well?”

Of course. We’ll just pop them in the glovebox. 😂

Vote below, and tag the person whose delivery has had so many add-ons it now needs planning permission.

Some of you KNOW you need to be tagging yourself, and we love you for it!

💨 STORM AUSTEN… IS YOUR FENCE ABOUT TO LEAVE THE GROUP CHAT? 💨

With an amber wind warning covering Cornwall from 1am to 10am tomorrow, Friday 23 October, now’s the time to get prepared, before your fence becomes somebody else’s fence. ⚠️

Check those posts, secure loose panels and strengthen any wobbly bits while it’s safe, before the wind arrives. That panel you’ve been meaning to fix since April? It’s currently checking flights to Bodmin. ✈️😂

Fencing, posts and fixings, RGB Truro and Archie Bee are here to help you get ready, and for the repairs afterwards.

Because nobody wants to wake up with an open-plan garden and an uninterrupted view of next door’s Dave eating cornflakes in his pants. 👀🥣

Secure the garden furniture too. Your trampoline hasn’t got an MOT and has no business joining the A30.

In all seriousness though, Stay safe, everyone, leave repairs until conditions are safe if the storm gets there first.

🚨 WOULD YOU RATHER WEDNESDAYS AT RGB TRURO 🚨

We’re getting staff AND customers involved, because apparently selling building materials doesn’t give us enough opportunities to embarrass each other. 😂

Would you rather have your mum follow you round work saying “that’s my clever boy”… OR have your school recorder performance played whenever you arrive? 🎶

Imagine loading a customer’s van and your mum’s behind you going, “Look at him carrying that all by himself. He was such a tiny baby.” 😭

Or pulling into the branch while your Year 3 rendition of *Three Blind Mice* clears the yard quicker than a fire drill.

Which are you picking? Staff, you’re answering too. “I’m busy” isn’t an option — your mum says you’re clever enough to multitask. 😂👇

👨‍🍳 IT’S INTERNATIONAL CHEFS DAY… and some of you need supervising with a toaster.

Here at RGB Truro, we know the kitchen is the heart of the home. It’s where you lovingly prepare dinner, set off the smoke alarm and hear “what’s for tea?” from someone who’s just watched you cook it.

Dreaming of a new kitchen? Come and have a look around our showroom.

✅ Somewhere stylish to burn the garlic bread.
✅ More storage for the 47 plastic tubs with three matching lids.
✅ A lovely worktop for everyone to dump their stuff on, directly beside the empty cupboard.

We can help you sort the kitchen. Getting the family to put a plate in the dishwasher apparently requires planning permission.

Pop into RGB Truro and let’s talk kitchens.

What’s your signature dish? And yes, “whatever the air fryer can do at 200 degrees” counts. 😂

FRIDAY AT RGB TRURO

You’ve told the customer you’ll be finished by lunchtime.
You’ve told your other half you’ll be home early.
You’ve told us you know exactly what fitting you need.

That’s three lies before breakfast.

Next thing, you’re at our counter showing us a blurry photo of something under a sink.

“Have you got one of these, but the other way round?”

Of course, mate. Let us just get the plumbing psychic out the back. 🔮🔧

Meanwhile, your apprentice is sat in the van guarding a sausage roll like it’s the Crown Jewels, and Archie’s done absolutely nothing all week and is somehow the most excited about clocking off.🐝

Pop into RGB Truro for your Friday essentials, a bit of banter and the bit you definitely measured before leaving site.

“About that big” isn’t a size. Even if you do the hand gesture twice.

And remember: “I’m just popping into RGB” is not a legally binding arrival time for your other half.

Happy Friday from the Truro team! 🙌

🐝 WHERE’S ARCHIE? EPISODE 1: BEE-HAVING BADLY 🚽

We’ve got loads of photos of Archie around RGB Truro, so we thought we’d start sharing what he actually gets up to.

Unfortunately, his first appearance is a disciplinary matter. 😂

Found him on the showroom toilet, asking for a newspaper and shouting “OCCUPIED!” at paying customers.

Mate. It’s not plumbed in. This is a bathroom showroom, not a service station. 😳

He’s calling it a “product demonstration”.
We’re calling it a potential clean-up in aisle three.

Pop in for some bathroom inspiration, just don’t take installation advice from a bee who thinks the price tag is toilet roll. 🧻🐝

Where will he turn up next? Depends which member of staff leaves him unsupervised… 👀
