Cheers for that mate, i may certainly bend your ear about plastering from time to time and will deffinatley keep you in mind if i get a job that requires screeding before laying tiles
I don't think i will do plastering full time as i enjoy tiling and there seems to be about an equal amount of money to be earned (i just quoted a kitchen at £385 and it should only take me a day and a half and they are paying for materials) not bad eh????
and its only my second job.
I know what you mean about full on hard work fella, i'm a scaffolder by trade. Plastering, hod carrying and scaffolding... got to be the worst out the lot in terms of physical requirements anyway (who wants to be handling freezing cold wet steel 150 feet in the air for a living in a game that has the highest death rate in construction) not me mate, thats for sure. Used to love it but it can't take you anywhere as it's very hard to get private work because of the materials needed and lorry etc.......and to get properly started up on your own you need at least 20K, and besides the health and safety have now almost totaly killed the game, we can't move without one of them taking a photo or telling us how to do our job.
Sorry mate i have gone off the subject slightly..by the way i am far from being a pro tiler, i only come out the centre 4 weeks ago but i'm buzzing and got tons of work lined up... if you get yourself amongst it (and being a plasterer you shouldn't find that hard
and use your contacts you'll do really well mate.
Good luck and keep me posted
