started 2 ceilings today 1 ceiling approx. 12x12, and other ceiling doing on Wednesday approx. 15x14, all boarded no carpets down,no furniture , plaster all supplied a nice straight forward job, happen to look in one living room and there must have been 30 multi and 6 bonding there, thought that's a bit to much plaster for these ceilings, because I am quick you know, then customer tells me his son is a plasterer got all his qualifacations etc etc , but and this is where he got me, he said he did not want to do the ceilings as he did not have the confidence to do them, but he was going to skim the walls, and had completed all his coarse work, now I try and see an argument from both sides and I know they are and quite rightly at times get a lot of criticisim, when this kind of thing happens I wonder at times,
no wonder coarsers get criticised

I got a start years ago doing a load of flats, their supervisor wanted me to start skimming all the lids and another of there gangs who apparently "Don't do ceilings, will come and do the walls". What?.
I said can't do, or won't do ceilings?. He told me to take my pick.
Told the big fat pr!ck to jog on, I do the whole unit or none of it.
He was adamant they were only going to do the walls so I told him to shove it.
Very Strange setup.

He might be afraid of heights!
As for rendering, if you have been a spread for 25 years and done most things but decide you will give rendering (and screeding!) a miss from now on is that ok? :RpS_cool:

Given the chance i would do ceilings all day every day. I can earn more doing lids than i can walls.
