It's obvious as you're more creative, and I think you look very fetching in your hat. The feather sets it off perfectly.

Sounds like a right bodge job! As a chippy, there are two things that I find most irritating about the finish of plaster at the bottom of a wall: either there is a bulge left at or just above floor level (meaning I have to plane the back of the skirting), or there is a massive 3 or 4 inch gap, making it virtually impossible to get a good fixing to the wall. Thankfully the plasterer I work with now is the best I have ever found, and I have few problems.
I always take pride in my work, and as far as I'm concerned, even if something will never be seen by the customer, I know its not right, and therefore I do everything as if it was on display for all to see.
Also, fitting skirting boards to wet plaster is shite, they tend to warp and move about.
Commenting on your original post, I too started out self employed fairly young at 26, and had the same issues with people doubting me. I am now 41 and even though the confidence of youth got me through, looking back now, my skill level improves all the time and I now realise that my early work was nothing special. I expect to continue to learn new methods and gain higher levels perfection as time goes on.
The key is aim for perfect work, be clean and tidy, be polite, and have a general good, professional image, then you will be recommended and you will be busy. I have never advertised and have always had too much work!
i do not like to see the build up plaster on the skirting it is simple to scrape the excess plaster back to the plasterboard or undercoat. then the skirting board can fit flat.
the carpenters that we work with fit temp. door linings so we do not pack out to the liners bending the skirting line.
I mistyped the age at which I went self employed, it was actually 22! Was self employed working for a building company who went a bit quiet for a few weeks so started off doing some work for a family friend, and built up form there.
