I love the work mate.

It's just finding shitholes to turn around that's the problem.

If you fellas get thin then you can always do site work. That's not an option for me because I got no cards.

I told you about the sheltered housing / care home flats "turnaround", any progress in that direction , you'll get good work once your established

Did you not start on boards and move to overskim

 

[McBentLegs]

45m2? No chance on my own.. definitely not at 2.8m, would possibly do it if was scaffolded out.

It's a good finish, smooth as baby's backside. Plan to have all veluxes slightly ajar and doors wide open during the day.

Hoping to get some paint on this Saturday. What do you think- too ambitious?

paint it now with the right paint.

I find that most interesting , I'm an over skimmer and rarely get rooms that big but thought most reasonably fit spreads would love it , two of those a day would pay well

I'm a short arse so struggle a bit as need higher hop ups than most etc/

I could cope with a 40m2 ceiling but wouldn't want to do two a day.. not every day anyway, would only have to work a couple of days a week if you did!

I'm busy for the rest of the year and collect dramatic photos along the way.

I'm too old to do it day in day out and apart from the boredom factor I'd probably pull a muscle but I'd do it till my money's stacked enough , waste of time having a lab as solo , I use 1 bag buckets , tip next bag in 5 min before I need to mix it , whisks up real quick

Big Chris in IOM. 6ft 7 went home and told his dad he was gonna be a bricklayer.

Dad twatted him and made him be a plasterer that doesn't need a hopup

Get good contacts for gas and sparks so they sub off you , the managers of these set ups want a one number contact

Many do but get carried away , stick to doing everything else yourself , its important to get on top of working in that environment , dealing with elderly , health and safety etc just being friendly , considerate is a big advantage . a complex of 50 flats plus and word of mouth with the manager happy you will avoid dealing with tight fisted bodge it landlords

That's it. Charge enough to do it properly and take your time.

Be relaxed and professional.

When someone pops their clogs , sorting a vacant flat unbelievably the last thing on peoples minds , the flat costs both the customer and the complex management money from day 1

I started out as a general labourer for a one man housebuilder in 1991.

Uncle Earnie from county Tyrone.

A plasterer by trade but a housebuilder by profession.

He still haunts me.

Faster son.

Work harder son.

8 tons of concrete son? When I was 16 I was doing a hundred tons a day.

I really struggle to keep my gob shut around the customer and slow things down.

The working for asians question is interesting. I'm passionately anti-racist, I've learnt a bit of Arabic and find different cultures interesting. I've been to price a lot of jobs over the years for Asians but have worked for very few because my quotes are nearly always too dear. It's a cultural thing, particularly for 1st gen Asian immigrants. Bartering etc. Whilst that can be fun on holiday, it's completely at odds with western culture and will remain so. It's a fascinating subject.

What a refreshing post.
