That about the rates im getting anyway,I no cost of live etc isn't as bad here and on say a 2500 sq ft house if u work hard on it u can still make decent enough money,once I get my ritmo sorted I'll b on the pigs back then:envidioso

True,that's what makes England look like a pot of gold but grass is always greener as they say...it's a tricky one. But on another note I've just lost my new member status I'm a full member now ill b on the beer tonight!!

@clemo,rates up here have been bad but creeping up a bit,day work for a contractor you'd get round£100 a day if roving a domestic new build you'd b getting between 3 and 4 quid a sq ft depending on spec,still sh#te but pays the bills!!

Sound bud, I love drinking pints after a day's skimming if that helps:birra:

Parkside mixing drill out of lidl for 35 quid last two years no bother mixing skim and bonding all day!

Are you are u lookin anybody to go over with u to give u a hand I just bought a new trowel today!!

Northern Ireland,will call u in five minutes if that suits

Cheers,I must look into them a bit more,most of my work is private new builds which are mostly all block built so if I could spray over hard wall it would speed the thing up which would mean more profit for me which is all good. Thanks again

hi lads,I've been thinking bout maybe getting a machine but im a bit behind the times and don't no that much bout them other than what I c on YouTube and read on here and I was wondering can u spray finish over sand and cement floating or is it just board u can spray over, cheers.

Not sure yet bout headin over,there's me and another plasterer in my gang that are talking bout it but as big k says by the time u pay digs and flights or ferry and beer tokens and eating out of a chippy every night we could b worse of!!but in sayin that it would do no harm to try it for a month...

Alright pal,Tyrone man here,wouldn't mind heading over to especially when u read on here bout boys making £300+ a day... This time next year we'll be millionaires!!!!!

Yeah,it definitely is fast don't no what's going on needa get the bucket and drill cleaned sharpish!!

Walked after a shitty white ball for 4 hours drunk to many pints on the 19th hole now have to go to a Irish wake...lookin like no school for me tomorrow!!!

Wish I could take my dog for a walk but a neighbour farmer filled him with lead for chasing sheepBut that's the rules of the countryside I suppose.

anyone else hitting the golf course or doing anything to get a bit of peace from her in doors and the kids??

No worries,if I was doing it over old pebble dash I would give the dash a good wash first then scud the dash with a ten sand to one bag of cement mix then scratch and take time to get it nice and straight and set beads properly etc then u would wait till the scratch was nice and hard and give it...

Hi pal, being doin Webber and k rend over sand and cement scratch coat since 2003 and never had any problems with it,scratch was 3-1 with waterproofer.

Same up here but same old story everybody wants it done for nothing,hopefully pick up in the summer,just gotta keep horsing it on nothin else for it!!!

Good stuff,much happening down there,done a Wee bit of work in brown Thomas Dublin but I spent more money round temple bar than I made!!

Tyrone

Na,might learn something new on here,seems there's different types of plasterers in different parts of the country,we never do dot and dab or boarding and most interiors are sand and cement and skim

We're doin k-rend slap dash can't seem to get the house finished with this weather,will put up a few pics if I ever get it done

Sunny Northern Ireland but always willing to travel if the price is right!! Plenty of work over here but for serious bad money

Hi all,I've been looking into this course and looking at lads work on here and it looks a tidy job,there's hardly anyone at it over here in n.Ireland so I might b on a winner,any tips or feedback from anyone that's been on it lately would b much appreciated. Cheers

Thanks mate,I no a few joiners over there there see in what they can do for me,cheers again.

Would head anywhere but am hearing there's a lot of work in london but I no it v expensive.
