You have to start somewere mate.. looks like he's ambitious enough, the plastering game is great, I made plenty from it... or I suppose he could go stack shelves in Tesco... now thats ambition for you...lol... you get 2 people in life, ones who are ambitious and ones who just scrape by... guess which one will be living in Dore and driving a BMW one day ???

Mecky Posted August 20, 2011 Share Posted August 20, 2011 Plastering is ok, if that's what he want to do but if he's still young I would also encourage him to train in a complementary alongside plastering e.g. plumbing, electrician, gas fitting etc. That way if one source of income dries up he has something else to go at.

I agree, good advice. I have a guy who is a superb plasterer and tiler, and also is an accomplished joiner. People such as me who look after several properties like someone who can bridge the gap if a job throws up an unexpected problem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NorthernStar Posted August 20, 2011 Share Posted August 20, 2011 As with most of the construction trades keeping your hand in is key, if your boyfriend is really serious he not only needs to know how to do it he needs to maintain the skill and if further courses is the only way to do this then I say go for it.

Edit: I'd phone your Housing Association or Sheffield Homes if you need repairs doing. They're covered in the cost of your rent...
