Have a strong belief in karma too many who have crossed me or mine have ended up fukked without lifting a finger , it's an odds game I guess as for sure it's the way they are and yes sure enough all catches up.(y) Sooner or later.

Laugh my ass off, just been over to drop my bill off, guy paid me there and then.
I had a look at what the other people plastered, note I said people not plasterers lol, the corners were scabby as fook, the reveals were bellyed out top and bottom, the small amount of float and set they had to was pissed all over the shop and fook me there looked like half of it went on the floor, I asked him if they were actually plasterers and he said yes, he couldn't remember what they were called but he remembered the van and one of there names, I know who they are, I want to have some words with them as they are more like improvers going out on there own, they also charged the customer more than my whole bill would have been lol that will teach the c**t.

Starting to really see light at end of tunnel and all these so called "multi trades"who have a go at plastering the ones who are playing at being builders (not genuine ones who get right trades for right jobs) will have to realise plastering is actually a skill from what loads say on here and the regulars you know they know what they on about,it has taken years to get the skills and still learn everyday,do feel very soon plastering will be seen as a proper trade again, @theclemo dont reply I already know your response and that you will say plastering is shite lol

Bit of a difference though between "have a go" and "Builders" that have grown into it like myself and a few others on here,
I've not had a call back on any plastering, Roughcasting, Skim etc? Been in the trade 30 years!
If you want a laugh at a "Have a go" YouTube Macplastering Renovation 5 , An hour + to build 10 blocks! The guy bumped from here. :)

Never been on a job yet that doesn't throw up it's own complications, and headaches. Finished a job a couple of weeks ago for a builder who thinks he is 'God', watched with absolute glee as he fell right in it.

Decided to do his own plumbing on a two story new build. He tryd hammering my rate right down, So in my mind I just thought I would keep stum, get the job done and ship out.

Anyway his plumbing has turned into a right shower of s**t, leaks everywhere, ceilings and walls ruined. So he comes knocking on my door to redo the work.

That will be the same price and a 50% bonus on top, happy days. He was fuming as it came out of his pocket. And his reputation is in tatters.

What comes around does go around in this game.

Had a customer get me to ditra matting and tile kitchen all last minute.com, matted dining room too and agreed to come back as soon as free to finish. Called them 4 times last week, no reply. Actually happy that they didn't tbh. Just make sure you get paid and say bye bye.

Lol tiling and plastering. Does that make me a multi trade that? I just don't like most builders. I only work for 2 builders that know what they are doing. Most of the others just do my nut in. Or leave a floor like this in the extension.

I'm plastering, tiling, stone mason, concrete work, plumbing, painting, timber floors and block laying. I'd throw another few in but no room on the van for it lol.

As for that floor, Jesus you left that in a bad way skipper! Me, when I do floors, I use battens. I know it's not how the pros do it, but it's how I get mine as close to level as possible and cover my own wages.

Beats me. Don't like plumbing. Radiators on and off as far as I go with that. Think I might train as a sparky next. Give them boys something to moan about.

Nooooooooooooooooo I did NOT do this floor. I had to tile it and come into see that. I either run round the outside or batten it if needs to be a bit more precise. But I don't do much screeding. Too slow at it.

Was only kidding! I don't mind the screeding however I wouldn't be as fast either. As long as I get a day's pay, I'm chuffed.

To right, I don't like builders that much either, I do work for the odd one I know but the attitude just gets on my tits, they cock up and instead of putting it right they just say "good plasterer will get over that" nob heads. There floor is shocking.
 
There are good and bad builders out there, but the ones I have come across tend to be ego-wankers. Most builders tend to be good brickies and thats it. A lot of there secret is their little black book of trades that they call on.

Had on builder tell me to use water out of the render barrel for skimming in the summer. Told him to have a go himself and f**k*d off.

I always remain respectful to builders as they land the work, but their biggest quality is they are great blaggers. No such thing as a master builder...Thats absolute b*ll***s..
 
hope you multi traders or what ever called not taken my comments to heart lads :hola:

i said it loads of times on forum before that it stinks imo but thats all it is my opinion :birra:

i always thought the clue was in the job description i.e plastering - plasterer, brick laying - brickie, painting - painter :risas:

must be stuck in my ways :risas: might have a look on youtube and see for myself how to do all this other stuff, saying that though i never seem to have time as always have some Plastering to do somewhere :hola:

Would that be plastering in a house that us builders built for you and provide you an income, Lol :)

I remember when I was 16 and told a mate I was going to be a brickie, Arsehole looked down his nose as though it was shittiest job, I asked what he lived in, A house he said! Replied with a house that a builder made?
Still wind him up now as he serves me in Tesco!!
