Site work.

[cassie]

Cassie i have done both , and i can skim as much on a domestic as i can on site given the area the prep involved in most reskims is minimal[/QUOTE

you sure ?/..lol..

lol.. been plastering 30 yrs bud.. worked a **** load of site work, and domestic... and on new housing its board and skim.. new buildings ie schools maybe more interesting.. end of the day a plasterer should be able to do ALL aspects of the trade whether its new build or domestic....

totally agree plastering is not just skimming it should be everything from screeding upto coving including external render S&C and all the krend/monocouche etc

scenario... lounge.. doors.skirts,architrives, all solid oak... ceiling papered, 2k of amtico on floor, as opposed to a bare room, no second fix joinery/electrical etc and a chipboard floor, no way are they getting skimmed same speed..?

I once had a site gaffer that picky, he wanted the lines in the ames filling in that the sandpaper had caused....now that is a situation where i needed to count to ten and have a breather

 

[cassie]

it should kev, probably fuked off with the people who throw it on and all they can do is skim boards ( badly ) I know you and scottie are good plasterers, but theres a lot that arent...

 

[scottie5]

Im starting to see that.

there are a lot of different types of site work from house bashing to large commercial contracts, to ewi up a tower block. these will keep you busy in good times but when the tide changes and the sites close down, you will have no customer base to turn to.

Im proud of the fact i can do all of the areas of work that have been mentioned and learnt it all at a young age.....not very often i touch render though, i like my big flat walls with pound signs on them, done a bit of domestic and its not my cuppa tea, i hate people to be honest.....infact i hate myself most of the time
