Plastering has always been that way. Council plasterer on a depot doing patching back in the day was a doddle I had a mate on the Council depot, no car so he walked to the house, got a list of materials, walked back to the depot had a break then get his wheel barrow out and leg it back to clock out. But those days are over now. Know of a joiner who does Hospital maintenance and his day drags. Good money but bored silly.

Some jobs are easy money and others like ours is earned. Good luck to them if they can get away with it.

Well if you spent less time looking at people drilling and more time plastering, you might get more than 4 bags a day on mightn't you?

Andy g think an 80k can be an investment if he sent one of his men 18ft up a ladder and he fell off.

A lot !I its all about risk assessment, for fear of law claims, America started it ! Not a clue about the cost though tbh . Wiil guess at £ 180 an hour per man.

Yes but when you finish your job you got something to look back at in years to come and be proud of what you have achieved. I'd rather that than making hole in the wall. To me I get more pleasure in work than money as long the bills are paid pint or two and a holiday I'm happy.
