You will be fine! Done it loads of times.... Sleep with a hammer in your hand [emoji23] and don't tell the lads down there or they WILL bully you in the night [emoji23][emoji23]
 
Let us know how your getting on.I remember driving from Dusseldorf to Berlin nearly twenty years ago with a lad from Dublin and Bangor(Wales) and having to sleep in the car the first night.Those were the days,young single making plenty money.I don't regret a second of it.

"So guys, I'm in my van now guys. It's cold, but my subbies will keep me warm. Anyway guys, plastering tomorrow, so I'd better knock one out now guys and turn in."

Best thing I've ever read on this forum, I can picture it in my head and it makes me smile. What a legend, such a great story (y)
 
Lol, Pete you f**k*r, didn't expect to see this again in the new posts:baaa:
 
Lodan. I admire your determination.
You already have a good background if you've been renovating. That's kinda how I started, but, I started plastering as first skill. If you want to learn the basics, surely a cheaper course can be found.
What about volunteering as a labourer a couple days a week. If you have aptitude, you'd be pretty much on it after a couple of months.
Good luck in your venture.

Gold Trowel is by far the best training provider... I hear more success stories than any other training provider... Unless you can find a traditional college that has a good reputation....

You need to learn calender basics mate
 
Are you fed up with plastering yet @Lodan ? Looks like I may have a stint in the van myself but only for odd nights. Well done you pulled it all off though reckon your better then a lot of plasterers around now.
