First of all hello to all
I'll start off by saying I am very new to plastering. Needed a drastic career change and decided I really wanted to try my hand at plastering.
I completed a 1 week Intense course and felt pretty good that I was ok at plastering obviously need a lot of practice still but ok nonetheless.
Here's where i am struggling.
I attempted my first proper 8 x 4 ceiling yesterday and crashed and burned heavily. Reason being everytime I did about a quarter of the ceiling if that and started to feel very nauseous and could no longer continue. The nauseous feeling continued for a couple of hours after.
Obviously I'm absolutely gutted as I have no idea what happened and feel really disappointed with myself. Just curious has anyone experienced anything like this or is it just a case maybe I'm just not cut out for it. I really dont want to give up as I really enjoy plastering and it's a great feeling when you complete a job. I just don't think I can get away with being a plasterer who can only do walls. Any help or advice would be most appreciated and apologies its such a long winded thread. Cheers Josh
