Names changing over time - plasterer's bucket.

Aug 11, 2026 0 Replies

Still fettling water butts. A while back when it was still raining now and then I connected up a third water butt to the array behind the house. I sited it too low, so I can't a watering can under the tap!



Searching through history, I found a shallow bucket which I have always known as a plasterer's bucket. Shallow so it is easy to get a float or trowel in.



Prior to locating said bucket I had searched on line. Apparently it is not a plasterer's bucket which is deep, but just a shallow bucket.



Names change over time, I suppose.



Ah, well.
