still the wrong section mate its the next one down.
Hello mate. Have you done any small jobs on your own at all or has it all been college?

 

[RAF 1]

Ha i'm rubbish with computers :-[ just college really and i've just recently dot n dabbed a wall in my mates then plastered it for him but nothing else

 

[PhilPlaster]

How was it ? were you confident, how was the finish?

i enjoyed doing it,it was twice the size of the walls we did in college so it went off a bit quicker than i expected but it looks ok,he was pleased because he only paid for materials haha

I'm from openshaw,East manchester,do you know it?

Bet he was at that price!
Good. sounds like your better than most labourers/ spreads that have been doin it for 12 months.
The fact that your enjoyin it is half the battle at this stage mate, it means your takin a pride in your work not just bish bash bosh. Not panicking is one of the best things I learnt when startin. And dont be too woried with speed either. That'll come later. It all about the finished result.
Could you do more work for friends n family? Thats how word will get round.
Try ringin round your local spreads, see if their takin on or if you could tag along with em for the experience?
Try n get stuck into a few posts on here as well you never know what'll come of it and you'll pick up loads of good tips.
