Great to see this section on TPF at last @Danny , let's go.
So most plasterers are self employed, hard work in the day plus out and about quoting,doing books , chasing money all adds up to virtually a 24/7 job, in my 20s I would work any where, any day and didn't care at all about "my down time" , it was all about getting "the money" , in my 30s was kind of the same tbh different pressures, different goals but then around 35 really started to try and get my house in order , weekend work I kind of halted (but tbh still do if s**t is running late or the money is needed) but holidays started to take an important part of my year, that's my down time for others it might be hobbies or socialising and spending time with family but what ever it is a plasterer needs to have downtime , working 7 days a week only leads to one thing,
A miserable existence or
Mental breakdown or
Serious health issues
Or divorce
