retired plasterers

Not many do my old man was gonna retire but he died before he had chance, he just finished a rendering job the day before he died, I do know a screeder who retired at 50 only because he was loaded and didnt need to work any more but it takes alot of wise investments.

There's a bloke at the firm i sub to in his 70s he can keep going all day
as long as he's on walls in the afternoon not ceilings
& he keeps up with most of us, trouble is his eyes are going
& his work is getting worse.
time to hang up his trowel i think.
I plan on retiring at 55 but we'll see.
Most the old blokes i know in the trade keep on working after retirement.
