    Nice one! How is business where you are? It's terrifying round here. I am just managing to keep one full-time guy and myself going. I am just using the other lads when I need them. I have three brothers, all plasterers and all struggling terribly. I was speaking to a couple of mates of mine...

    Hi roughplasterer There are no visible faults in any of my jobs. Visible fault do occur occasionally and I always correct all of my mistakes - I am a perfectionist. I think you are seeing things or it is a photo glitch. I never said that I am the best pebble-dasher, I just said that I am a...

    Well said! My family have been dashing for three generations. The coal shovel technique has been passed down to me by gentlemen tradesmen who made-do with the resources at the time. I have taken this knowledge and combined it with academic knowledge of materials, to produce an absolute science...

    The best dashing scoops are tailor made from coal shovels. Harling trowels are very ameturish. No you can't get a degree in pebble-dashing, mine is in construction.
