hi everyone this is my first post after lurking in the shadows so decided to sign up. I have been a plasterer for 14 years and thouroughly enjoy my trade, i dont think any other trade has the skill and job satisfaction as ours, when i first started as a lad i was amazed at how many people said that the trade had no future because dry lining was taking over. Little people realise that plastering was around in egyptian times and will be here long after we have gone, sure new methods have come and gone (artex) but as every good housebuilder will tell you, you cant beat float and set- solid walls, None of this paper drylining poo! even when the houses are stuck its so much better to have them skimmed, anyway, hello everyone go easy on me please!
