Default newbie: plastering.

Might be a stupid questio, but where do you go about getting on a plastering
course? The local college? I thought the shortage of people like plasterers,
plumbers, etc meant that the colleges could not even get lecturers?

I have done plasterboard, undercoat and skimming. The only one of
these i would not bother to do again is the skimming. For this the

plasterers and there are plasterers!


Or book yourself on a plastering course.
I went from being completely useless at it to being better
than the professional plasterers I hired in just 2 days.
It took a while longer to get up to their speed.
I'm getting even better as I do more of it too.
Not done a ceiling yet though (and the one I really need
to do is, of course, over the stairwell;-)
