plastering courses

[conned tractor]

* plaster
* clean water
* big plastic trug
* mixer drill bit
* hawk
* good trowel
* PVA bonding stuff

Skimming IME is a bit more tricky, but if your basecoat is properly flat then it should be OK.

This may be a regional difference, but don't you need a float also. Although you may be refering to what i'd call a float as a trowel. I would use a trowel for brickwork etc.

I know someone like this also. He was a brickie, joints are buggered now in mid 40's.

As opposed to most IT geeks who’ll have chronic bedsore on their lardy fat arses by the time they’re 50.

I must admit to suffering fat arse syndrome by the age of 32. Really need to get out and do some exercise. It is one of the downsides. And drinking too much to unwind.

True, I know I do.

Not just me then. I gave up food last week to try and help, but at 200 cals per pint it's still not helping...

Extremely HARD WORK!! - could affect your body later in life.

I know a couple of plasterers in their 40s.

That is very true. We had a local guy plaster in our hall and lounge, great job and very reasonably priced, but the last time I called him re some work, he told me he'd had to leave plastering due to lower back problems. Such a shame.

Seems like there is a serious choice here
Do the plastering , get off your @rse and wreck your body
Get plasterered, save your body, wreck your @rse

was thinking bout trying to learn a trade, anyone ever taken a plastering course before? any feedback, recommendations?

Don't forget that it is important to learn the lingo too.

Bish, bash, bosh. Loadsamoney!
