Totally agree, if anyone's falling apart in their twenties then they should do whatever it takes to change careers because it sure as hell wont get any easier when you're my age.

I know you wont believe me but, given time an eleven inch trowel will definitely help your body last.
In my younger days I tried larger trowels, I didn't get any quicker and after a while I started getting pains in both my elbow and shoulder. I went back to my eleven inch trowel and within a couple of months my elbow and shoulder both got better. If you're a domestic plasterer I doubt that a large trowel would do to much harm, but for a site spread banging on the mtrs. day after day it just can't be good for you.
 
i havent been on site for a while im mainly domestic but i do flit between the two next year ive got a few sites got two fairly small sites one 6 flats one 4 flats one a block of offices but ive been asked to help with a job in cambridge ment to be 100 units float and set but im not 100% on that one yet
