I agree. When i do new builds or full house i do room by room on tod. Id be guessing at a site system, but interested to know how its done now
 
I do quite a few new builds for a private builder. Last one in did was a big 4 bed I boarded n skimmed in 4 weeks on me own.

But it's hard graft as I'm more used to domestic. But I like the fact you can get stuck in on a new build rather than fecking about with sheets n working around stuff.

If I didnt do 3 hits a day for the private builder he'd prob bin me off on the bigger jobs. As it wouldn't get done quick enough for him. It's always price so never out of pocket.

We dont the whole of the upstairs/ downstairs is done in 1 day and the 2nd gauge starts going on when 1 of us is still troweling up previous gauge!

We class the whole of an upstairs/downstairs as a big room!

I worked on a persimmon site in Blackburn mate last year a fella would tack studs and ceilings on his own in a day on 4 bed houses....then dab in 2 days alone mixed with a rake.
On-site 7 gone before 3.....house already loaded.
2 brother's worked separate doing this week in week out.
Looked like they plodded all day every skimmer who worked for Kingsley plasterers wanted to follow them.
To be honest Thier a rare breed but I know a few who can do it (y)(y)

Yeah mate I agree your body will accept anything within reason but still can't be the best thing for later life..doesn't matter for you cos when all your girls are teenagers they'll kill you off anyway

Its not about being a machine just work out how you will do the plot its easy no sheeting or cleaning apart from scraping out

Being bought up with it helps....but wouldn't take long for spreads to pick up if they were interested.
Poor young fella dabbing failed his driving test this morning.
His boss was telling me he was nearly blubbering on the phone.
Dreams of becoming a full time house basher lol.
Funny how plastering grips you at the start !!!!
