I can guarantee you that you wll get into a right mess trying to put up plasterboards on a ceilng if you have never done it before. It comes easy to those that know and use a deadman. can do 8'x4' sheets on my own.
But two blokwes that are complete virgins

No I just can't type as fast as you. but have done plenty of artexing and plastering, like I said spot on

We just got off on the wrong foot with TP's corrner speed thing

Thanks guys! I need to weigh up the cost/my abilities/ time factor of it all! I keep telling myself I can put up with the artex but my girlfriend knows better and says its only a matter of time before I would get sick of looking at it. She says it makes sense to do it all in one go. However she also thinks everything will be finished by weekend!

have you offered the plasterers bangers and mash (cash)

[MARTIN H]

Yes offered them all cash! The first one I met in a pub a couple of weeks ago (I was there repairing the fruit machine) he had just finished work and was talking to the barman about the plastering he had just been doing. So I went and bought him a pint and asked if he fancied doing a job for cash at any time day or night to suit him I also told him that many of the other rooms will need doing in the next few months and he could give me a price for them as well. He works for a big company of plasterers and seemed well up for a foreigner. So far he has arranged 4 different days to come and have a look and not turned up on any of them. I rung a couple more from Yellow pages and they have not been anywhere near yet.

I am surprised really as there is a lot of work here for a plasterer that wants it?
