    plastering future

    Tbf dan, it isnt that easy, I qualified 2 years ago, on lead sites it's the most competitive trade by far...a rewire will have 10 interests where a room skim will have 2 or 3....be good when established but not paved with gold how people think when your starting out

    Bill Gates my hero

    I honestly find it a bit sad hector that you decided to take up the stance of resident troll. About 5 years ago I was talking about my sister crohns, we were all new to it, fresh diagnosis (different user name) and you really helped me out, sensible and consice and all your other posts were...

    I've started using it recently, got to say so far it knocks spots of multi, deals with all backgrounds fine and other than a touch extra water it seems to finish nice and easy

    Small budget, big plans...

    You will bodge it not out of intention but by the fact you dont know what your doing. I could try to make a car or fly a plane, I'd have the best intentions of doing it right but the engine would fall out my car and id crash the plane into the floor through a lack of knowledge

    Plasterer being aggressive to us

    Sounds like there will be two sides to this story, why would he be telling them to f**k off if it had all been rosey till then. I dont agree with him swearing at customers as word gets around but it wont have come out of nowhere
