Hmmm apparently
He must be over sorting out a few rockfalls that happened recently? I came over here for the work myself, was fed up travelling around Ireland for work.

It's some old quarry in St Helier they are sorting ready for the development of some new apartments.

No marra the way they are paid it goes into uk banks cos the firm they are on for reckoned it was not viable for them to set up an offshore company or summat like that.
I think it was tax free or there was some way around it but that's long gone now, it's pay as you earn now so everyone's on a different tax rate.

Speedskim is just an expensive darby

You are right there Ryan, answering the phone to customers for the last two years the biggest problem in the industry is serious aches and pains. Anyone plastering over 5 years starts to feel it. Some more than others of course, but those who have been plastering 15 to 25 years are all feeling it. Some are in a lot of pain, wrists, elbows, shoulder - some have injections, some have to have operations.
If you start plastering when you are 16 - by the time you have put 25 years its quite common to be faced with throwing it in. So by the time you are 41 you may have to think about another trade or different occupation altogether. In using traditional methods (just trowel) in some cases the Plasterer has a 24 year shortfall in career span. With retirement ages going up its getting worse!
Using Speedskim significantly reduces the elbow work and is a massive step forward - both for older Plasterers who are feeling it but also the younger guys, so they can avoid developing these ailments...:RpS_thumbup:
