Hi John. Well I went to Edinburgh for my course and managed to pass with a merit for my plastering and a distinction for my health and safety. So I was very chuffed. When I came home I hadn' seen the plasterer and was keen to get back into it so stripped my living room walls while my baby was in...

Not far off creepcake :baaa:

Don' know what you are all moaning about I'm having a ball :bailando::numberone:

I must be off my head but I found yesterday thoroughly enjoyable :pcmala:

Plasterers So far it's all men moaning. They guy I was with today has worked for 35 years and I know for a fact that in this city he is well respected for his work by his own trades men and others. Today he told me he has enjoyed all his years as a plasterer so I'll stick with his advice...

I just googled do all plasteres get periods :hueco:

@JessThePlasterer thanks I'll stick with it. I'm Lucky to be given time. He even gave me some tools and has overalls for me next week. People are kind. :sisi: will be more prepared on Monday and not so nervous.

I'm 24 stone with a beard and green teeth. I doubt the sticking it on part.

Today I'm learning a know absolutely nothing about plastering and watching a real master at work. Feel incompetent. Gave me some tools snd a a wall and i papped it. The guys amazing and a great teacher. I wish I'd started this younger but not going to give up. I'm invited back on Monday. I will...

@Danny thanks for fixing that for me

Hi Danny it's Jade. I have made a new account. Can you tell me how to merge so my user names no longer my name. Thank you

Now I got one of these spray bottles. A plasterer I know gets his brush and splashes and everyone moans about the mess he makes but he is so good. He is well older now he would tell me not to get into it so I'm no telling him. I'm happy to give my own place a good go and any mistakes or f**k ups...

Jess enjoy :birras::bananas:

That's a good one. First mix I made in garden I started working away and left my bag of plaster open in the rain. Also blasted for calling the ceiling the roof I now know the difference. Simple things eh

Tough one eh. I just have a basic trowel. Do you recommend the mt worn in? Are they all made this way? It gets a bit confusing when one is gold or stainless steel. I will try my best to keep busy. I have a room that can be plastered in the house. It's just plaster board underneath the paper...

Sooooo it's Saturday night. I've got two tissues shoved up each nostril catching the snot droplets hating life. Excited to go along on a job next week. Secured some work to sers .If you could only have 5 tools what would they be and why? I miss you. :cry::baaa: stop having weekend fun :tonto:

I'm looking to change career too. I'm a bit younger but I think thats great your up for it. You will be wiser and know no person that doesn't even know you and better off a key board warrior can't dictate your life choices. Id use I'm older but fit as a fiddle as my selling point. Hope you get...

That is kind Jess! I've saved your number. Will have a look at tomboy plastering just now. Have saved your number you will be hearing from me. You will have your head burst with questions (y) thank you

Jess that's amazing to hear. So far in Dundee we don't seem to have any women plasterers I've been looking. I've heard about a few polish guys who had a girl with them on a job a joiner I know was doing. Said she was doing a great job. To be fair when I started doing research you were the first...

I'm coming to the conclusion this plastering game must be east if you can all chat on this all day :sorprendido3: either that or your all retired :lol:

Hello CatRob I'm in Dundee. Good luck with your handy work.

Woohoo go the girls :bailando: must be Scottish plastering month we are all at it :birra:

Can I change my user name on this?

Haha you forget i live with four boys from the age of 7months, 5, 10 and 32. So my daily chats about what size of s**t has just been done and congratulations on size of daid s**t and football. Lady chats went out the window along time. Don' rememer them being about any of that tho :ROFLMAO...

A wee update from me. I contacted a guy today that' been running his business for a long time. Has the best reputation. I told him about my course and he asked me to phone back Monday to meet him on a job during the week at s cottage he has been working on. I'm over the moon.

Marshy I'm something of a smart arse myself don' worry about me.:bailando::bananahappy: Thank you tho :birra:

Walked right into that one :whistle:

I don't mind dirty. I have lots of energy. I look after myself. I' Sorry you find your trade grim. Most people don't enjoy the job they are doing. I find sitting at a desk especially grim. Thank you

Thank you very much Jess. I actually read all about your plastering jorney. Inspirational. Well done.

Hello! New to the site and new to plastering. I really enjoy painting and was told by my partner to give plastering a go. To start off I got myself some tools and got a hand to screw plaster board sheets to walls. Watched the usual youtube videos and found myself having a blast. I enjoy the...
