Hi lads, it's great to be able to give all trowels a run TBH
MT sent me their 125th box
As a plasterer this is a dying craft TBH
We need to stick together and keep this great craft moving forward to the young that really want to serve their time at this great trade TBH?
Plasterers are a different animal to the rest of the construction industry TBH?
We fix other trades mistakes lads?
That's why we are different to the rest?

George what a breath of fresh air you are mate. Your love and enthusiasm for the job is infectious mate. Not too long ago was thinking of packing in. You know when work goes quiet or you've had really hard day and think f**k this s**t. There's always something that drags you back into it. Keep up the good work mate best of luck gary

Hi Gary mate, thanx for ur kind words mate
Plastering gets into u mate I honestly believe, for me, it's all the different aspects of the Craft that I honestly love doing mate, looking back to when I served my time, I think to myself, Jeepers how much I have learnt and hopefully will learn much more mate, as to me? Ur always serving ur time at this Trade mate
My old Uncle retired at 74 and to me was a great plasterer TBH mate, listening to the days when they scratched and floated ceiling back then with horse hair in the mix, tacking the old laths up, no mixers for the Hodsman, all mixed with a shovel, now look at it?
No plungers, tub mortars etc lol
Plastering is such an art and to me a Privilige to have been handed down the skills that we all use everyday Gary mate

Don't take this the worng way. U need help. How the f**k do u still love this s**t job. Let's be honest plastering has to be one of the worst jobs to have. I have 7 trowels I think and I thought that was sad lol. Fair play if u do like it. U sound like a nice bloke. I've been at this s**t for 18 years I think could be more lol and I hate it. I get up some mornings think what I have to do that day and just get back in to bed. f**k I think it is me that needs help.

Hi Lodan, no apprentice mate TBH, since moving to Perth, the plastering here bores me?
As the materials and methods are so far behind mate
I would honestly only ever want an apprentice that would be willing to work hard and listen mate..

Hi Danny mate, it's monopolised out here mate TBH?
All the big companies have it tied up
They won't let Finish into here at all, and not just that mate? There are so many Plasterers out here that only want to float alone, or set etc?
Once most plasterers can do that out here, the interest goes Damny mate
