Hey guys been on here for a while but never really posted much. My name is jamie I'm 25 been plastering for 8 years. Love the banter on here but thought I'd introduce myself before joining in and people thinking who the **** is this clown haha
 
Welcome along mate

You will still get some stick - it is part of the forum - just don't take it too seriously

Get yourself involved mate - what do you specialise in? internals? externals? domestics? sites?
 
Welcome along buddy, oli should be here in a minute with his beige cardigan and werthers originals ;-)
 
Haha getting stick is part and parcel in this trade and makes the day go faster lol I do a lot of internal work but the past 2 years been doing a lot ewi, weatherby, webber and parex. I do a lot of renovation work too!! I try to keep in with the big companies on sites but also try to keep the domestic side of it going too because once your on site I find you get forgotten about for domestic work if that makes sence lol

We spray as a 2 man set up ,just makes life easier mate , loads of help on here when you turn to the dark side of a machine ,or stay as you are if it works for you :RpS_thumbup:
 
At the moment hand applying is working great. I was taught by an old school plasterer so kept things traditional. Still banging out the meters and earning a decent wage. But would be nice to get with the new way of plastering. Bet it's not cheap for the machines!?!:RpS_confused:
