Shame your not in Kent I would of bitten your hand off, I would put my notice in tomorrow from a £28,930 job I hate to earn £350 a week doing something I really want to do! Mugs..

Spanish trowel

I had an older converted Lwb T4 which was a day bus, great van but a little dated now.

Correct that toyota hiace!! Stupid phone

T5 would be my choice all day long, but id hate to ruin it. T5's are for day vans or campers. I reckon toyo. HiHoaxes would be my choice.

Quick question, what's your preference on the ideal plastering van?

Don't get me wrong I do take a lot of pride in my work and I fully understand what your saying I only lined the walls as the rest of the room was having paper and this wall was having a fully fitted cabin style bed so it was pretty covered. As you say id def aim for best possible quality as...

I was young and stupid with no experience I remember mixing another bucket mid laying on the first coat by the time id got it all om the wall had sucked most of the moisture out the first bit and it was un workable. Hence the lining paper to cover it up.. still all came good ish in the end.

Cheers minh, good advice! I have done some work I my old house a couple of ceilings and a few walls I've got to admit first wall was ok for lining paper ;) but I did get the hang of it and enjoyed it. Nothing was pro standard but still good enough for paint. Hopefully I can get the c&g done and...

Na all taken in light, I'm with you! You can't learn anything on a 5 minute course, unfortunately peoples lives wont warrant being able to do a complete apprenticeship in an ideal world we'd all love to retrain and do it the right way but it just wont fit with others lifestyles.. I don't doubt...

My apologies "spunky not slinky" stupid phone!

F*****g pikey??? A little strong I may add and its traveller not pikey!! I dont pretend to be anything def not an "expert of the construction industry" Obviously I know nothing about you slinky, but who's to say you haven't come from a 2 bit 5 day night school class?? You never know and I...

Your right, however at 36 I'm pretty sure hes not going to be an apprentice my guess 6 week course at the most then onto doing small little jobs to get by. Which I appreciate to you guys is a piss take to your trade however that's the way things are going with this day and age fast track...
