Hi all. Have been reading posts here for a while but only just decided to jump in. Please be nice to me; I'm not a plasterer, I'm a joiner. Like most trades, I've multi-skilled quiet extensively over the years. But of all trades, it's plasterers for whome I have the most admiration. Ive built stud walls and boarded them but have restricted myself to only small areas of plastering and patching.
It's bloody hard, it's exhausting, yet you create this flawless finish, seemingly with no effort strain or sweat. Ive seen porky old guys and weak little youngsters balancing trowel, fag, brew, mobile phone, while chatting away...... and still do a a speedy, excellent job.
Thats enough sucking up.
Have started refurbs to our recently aquired retirement cottage and the first thing it needs is insulated plasterboard all round to the half metre thick random stone walls. In winter, condensation runs down the plaster over render walls. I'm here to learn how you do it so I dont screw the whole job up completely.
See you later.
