If we was all a bit more clever at school and reached our full potential none of us would be plasterers,plastering picks u not other way round but being honest it's gave me a living and earnt a fair few quid from it rough with smooth although these days everyone a plasterer which makes it harder 10 year ago I was greeted with a smile and got a thanks these days it's far and few between

Trade going the same way as painting & decorating.
Or at least that's how it feels sometimes.

i do think plastering will become a thing of the past. there will just be machine minders using self finishing plasters as there are in northern Europe.
 
Malc have u seen the state of plasterings jobs in Europe? There are horrendous..plastering will be here until time stops

i have worked in Europe several times.
they are very fussy about reveals and heads. the straight walls you cannot go wrong as all the blocks are dovetailed together therefore dead straight. plasterboard is a thing of the past, party walls are built from plaster block ,solid blocks of gypsum plaster again dovetailed and dead straight. ceilings are concrete slabs.
you are paid in hours, about 50 hours to bead, dub out reveals, pipe, electric chases , and joints in ceiling slabs then skim in self finishing plaster. a 4 bed house.

So... the @theclemo syndrome appears to have made its way to the south coast... I'm still in bed, should be at work.
Only got it mildly though, as I haven't told anyone to f**k off... yet....

Hmm, I need to look at the heater in my van. Blower not working. Might do that at some point... then again. Duvet is rather heavy.

I'm sat in a dark cupboard hiding away having my lunch, I'm not feeling sociable today. Too many people on site getting under my feet.
