Was thinking that was a very good day to knock three out on your own.
Makes life a hell of a lot easier with one of them doesn't it.
You'll have to let us no how you get on with the speedskim.

If someone said you got to give up the lifter or the wife .....her bags would be packed at the door....if it goes well I might even post a photo or two

45 and starting to understand what they meant by a young mans game!
flat out busy and my body knows it, lot of aches and pains and once i sit down i find it hard to get up again.
It offers a lot of freedom and the money is good , im hoping for a lack of plasterers and a building boom , earn some decent money and move into something else.
Fecking 70! i dont think so

i am 56, i go round the house thinking what did i come in here for,where am i ,who are you,....but as long as i recognise my handboard,i know all is well

Once you start to call it a hawk you will defo know its time to pack it in .

I'm 37, feel 17 some mornings and 97 on others!

Wouldn't change it for the world tho, love the trade - fed n clothed me as a bairn and now doing the same for my kids.

 

[theclemo]

I f**k**g change it in a Hart beat. I fed me and my kids and give them homes not plastering. Fair play if you like the job still tho.

 

[GypsumSnorter]

Cheers mate, probably nothing else I could do to keep the same standard of living. Sometimes involves a bit of sh*t eating or bending over but it usually evens out lol
