gnipper 5,945 Posted August 25, 2018 Report Share Posted August 25, 2018 I hope you never paid for that I trained as a plasterer when I was a kid and still do bits now and again for friends but I'm reluctant to do big jobs as I'm out of practice but when you see some of the jobs that 'professionals' are doing and charging top dollar for it makes me regret my career choice 20 year ago.
