Wage gap closing between skilled and unskilled

I've seen worse than that dude, I'll even admit myself sometimes it just doesn't set right and dried an aweful colour! There are a few properties Ive worked in that I just can't get a good finish, no matter what background, time of year or batch of plaster.. Done nearly every room in house over 3 years but its a nightmare every time! I think humidty and ventilation has a massive part to play in plaster setting properly, only thing I can think of!
 
It doesn't matter one single bit what it looks like when it's drying or when it's dry.....its when its painted that count! Different backgrounds dry at different times so you will see a difference when dry.
I've seen my work when done and bits I thought I'd missed don't show through and no it wasn't sanded down to get right.
The end product is what counts.

things are busy in jaywick now. new roads and pavements being built. gov. must have given them some money.
essex council would not repair the roads as they had never been adopted by the council as they were substandard. there was not any pavements on brookland estate.

Good on them, but not sure how's that gonna help their case on unemployment. I can't imagine any of them people who were filmed that would get a job as a general labourer, most of them is a liability according to the program on c4 or 5.

To be fair to the plasterers who did this, that doesn't look dried out completely to me and when its not dried out, it can look not great, esp in pics. How long they do this before you weighed in?

No I understand, what I was saying is its hard to tell a good skimmed wall most times going by pics and not dried out properly. You can't see in pics what one can with the naked eye. I've had great skimmed walls but because the walls Haven been dried out, if taken a pic, it doesnt look great.
