Anyone in North Yorks need a hand?

[PaulPlumb]

Labouring really and I'm not wanting silly dosh. I've been in the building trade for 20yrs as a plumber though we've now left the rat race, so I just want some beer tokens.

I can use a trowel and have skimmed plenty of walls. Though I'd never call myself a plasterer, one did once said my work was ok and I've done a private job or two Just trying to be honest.

Why can't you make some beer tokens doing a bit less plumbing than you used to?

Especially for what the misers on here want to pay labs.....

£40 a day... YOU WANT £40 A DAY? I'LL GIVE YOU £40 a WEEK MAYBE. IF YOU'RE ANY GOOD THAT IS? I USED TO MAKE £40 a MONTH WHEN I WERE A LAD.

Etc

He’s a good lad tbf. But one of us had to do it

 

[Stevieo]

And not the man who's doing the paying.

That's why I don't like bosses and don't have one.

Shouldn't be pouring slop down em

We live full time in a motorhome, I can't carry the tackle for plumbing even if I wanted to which I don't.

I'm the most straight up fairest bloke you could meet, I'd want what we did and what I was worth. This job is all "How long is a piece of string" anyway isn't it.

The problem with this game is,
It’s not going to be those relaxing 2 wall jobs. So a labourer can end up slowing a plasterer down

Two wall jobs lol, cos everyone is desperate for hand on those to catch macdonald before he stops doing breakfast. Don't take the piss

Think you’re taking the piss. Plumber turns to plastering lol

Think whatever you want, I don't need the expense, stress or the heartache. And I actually quite enjoy a bit of plastering.

I just picked up £500 for 2 walls.
And got extra £100 off the fella (teacher) for working sat n sun.
£300 a wall.
I never wanted it.
And I won't be doing it again felt like I'd been raped.

I absolutely hate plastering.
But it pays better than most jobs.

Yeah. But unless you find a minted plasterer who can pay you to do a ‘bit of plastering’ you’ll end up labouring for someone like @algeeman whos throwing on ridiculous amounts and you’ll get a rude awakening onto what’s involved.

Horrible life....gob smacked how everyone wants to be proud of pushing shite up walls lol.

What bugs me is other trades who pop in to do their first fix. Make a mess. Then they come back and as if by magic everything is fixed and skimmed all looking great.

They have no idea the effort that goes into it or the shite we have to get over.

Then they retire and want to be paid to do ‘a bit of plastering’ like it’s a f**k**g hobby or something

That's the second go you've had at taking "a bit of plastering" totally out of context and trying to spin in into something different. As long as it makes you feel better I suppose.

I've already said I've been in the building trade for 20yrs and you try make out I think it is a "f..... hobby" lol, prick.

Just go work with a spread for a week and report back to us from hospital.

When we sold up we bought a little house we now rent out, I gutted it, ripped every ceiling down and reskimmed the lot. I put central heating in it, new kitchen, bathroom, walls knocked out and floors propped and lintels replaced etc etc. I did the lot with our lass, apart from sparky mate who rewired it. We were out of there in 6 weeks and into the motorhome and been in it since.

I'll say no more as you are clearly on the wind up.

I think you’re on the wind up. You’re super fit but not fit enough to do PLUMBING!?? So to have an easy life you want to do Plastering .. the most psychically demanding trade

 

[lurpak]

To put it into perspective, I met a plumber who sneezed and dislocated his back.

I know a spread who mixed up 3 bags of dab then realised the mixer wasn’t plugged in.

Nice part of the world, but Too far for me I’m harrogate, but best of luck with it.
