I asked the same question in here a while back and was advised against spending the cash on a movie - this is the one I found

There was a post on here about 6 months ago describing every detail, I used this advice to plaster one wall, sadly the advice was too good as the wife thought that I'd done too professional job, hence she 'thought' it was a good idea to do the rest of the room and 2 upstairs bedrooms, so watch what your doing!!

It's not just a video you are buying, its a complete theory course as well, its easy to watch somebody plaster but without the knowledge as well its worthless.

As a professional plasterer you would expect to earn a minimum of plus

100k per annum working from a home based office with very low overheads.

Rough estimate of annual pay is half the hourly x 1000. "Expect" to find enough work for 4 months in the year at those rates. And if the low overheads do not include a maid for ravishing/tea supplying it is not worth it.

Most of the problem with finding customers is that all of the effort is in preparation. Any fool can plaster a simple wall. Consider the problems of stair wells and old houses, nitches and alcoves, property where the occupier is a pain in the arse and poor payers.

Then there is the building site where stuff goes missing, doesn't arrive on time or the plumber, electrician, joiner and half a dozen other idiots have not finished their bit, nor done the job properly and by and large you get an idea the job is not what you might have hoped for.

That's not counting your own ****-ups.

One I heard of -- customer's kids running around house, tread wet plaster into all the carpets, and then you get sued for recarpeting the house.

I'd let the lawyers from my liability cover loose on them, not needed them as yet touch wood.

He he... I once had a central heating installer who brought his 5 yr old with him! My wife had to 'baby-sit' the kid!
