[@JakeBlake00]

Done plastering for 4 years, I'm 21, lower back, knees, forearms are all shot, havnt been able to workout or do any other activities so I've quit, best decision I ever made. 👍🏼

[@troweltalk2719]

Sorry to hear that mate what are your plans moving forward Jake?

@@troweltalk2719 someone passed on to me a small window cleaning round, so I'm building that up. Far less stressful, easier on the body and just as much earnings. Only problem is your tied down with the weather but it's manageable.

I do this when mixing. Saves your lower back if your tall.

love it Stu, Sound advice , bringing up TT at the beginning, great idea 👍👍

[@Danny-ql2ep]

I’d do the one knee for bits but normally to the side for me not a strider.

[@markneeson7162]

Great video as usual Stuart. Boot on the a**e for going on your knees in our squad, it’s usually Danny.😂😂

[@ThePlasterer]

🤣🤣 poor Danny

Stu, isn't bending down bad for your back? "Bend your knees, not your back" - I just squat down.

[@troweltalk2719]

It would be if lifting something heavy off the ground yes. that's where you should bend your knees. all this is using you leg muscles & core to extend your reach . I've not got a bad back or bad knees

[@carldriscoll6736]

Great video 👍.

[@CriticalDispatches]

This is very informative and interesting. I see that in a lot of these videos that the floorboards are already laid when the plastering is done. Is it ever the case that the plastering on a new build would be done before the floors were laid? I live in a house with a suspended wooden floor sitting on wooden joists with no subfloor. I am trying to think of when this house was built, which was around 1980, if it was that the plastering was done first and then the joists and floor put down or vice versa.

[@troweltalk2719]

Hi, Typically The floors will go down then the plastering. (Plaster should be kept slightly off the floor)

[@CriticalDispatches]

@@troweltalk2719 Thank you for your response. That's interesting. In my research some people said that the plastering would go first as it is a wet job and the moisture could warp the floor.

[@matthewbuck1604]

I’ll be laying on the floor soon on one of those mechanics dolly’s haha 😂

[@troweltalk2719]

How long you been at it Bucky?

[@williamStevens-xw2zy]

Talking proper sense mate, my legs are fuckt!!and what makes me laugh is everyone asks....don't your arms ache???no!they will be broken in for my wheelchair 😅😅😅

[@favferrit5571]

I'm 39 plasterer for 20 years ,I've had bad knees for years ,so hardly ever bend my knees ,I can literally lay both hands flat on the floor without bending my knees ,unfortunately my knees are still fucked but probably could be worse
