Don't you f**k**g start. It's going old school, the daughters will cook the teas, wash the dishes and make sure they look pretty for when their menfolk return from a day of toil.
A bit like Si does for you.

That reminds me, I need to take my wifey in hand. He borrowed some drill bits out my van......... and didn’t put them back!!!!!! He knows better.
 
Definitely not, problem with plastering is you rely too much on other people especially with bigger jobs, will advise to get jobs which have the option of self employment and are well paid employed and that you don't have to ely on other people nothing worse than employing people always a let down.

It’s quite depressing when you think about it all mate, I used to love going to graft with my grandad and then my dad but I just can’t see the trade going any further in my family at the moment. My son has no interest in plastering at all.

I won’t let my son get into it. It’s s**t and plasterers aren’t respected any more much better jobs out there. Next 20 yrs a tramp will be earning more than the average spread.
