[@michelleclarke4112]

My grandad once told me "if you love what you do you'll never work a day in your life" how true he was!

[@Drummybrummy]

Started watching your videos a while back, painter by trade but used to apprentice for a plasterer years ago. Waching these is like a refresher course and has given me the urge to get back on the Trowell a bit. As someone with ADHD who stuggles a lot with organisation, seeing how you handle a bad day and stay positive under pressure is even more helpful. Thanks for the videos Kirk, youre a legend. Good luck Kyran, good on ya lad. We need more people like you.

[@nuetral2374]

Good luck KYRAN in all you do you seem to be a genuine caring young lad 👍🏻

[@JJ.property.repairs.]

Kirk you are a 100% top quality diamond. You can tell by the way your talking that kyren is gonna be a big miss. Take pride in the facts that you've taught him in work and life for the positive. He has an opportunity to spread his wings and grow and yet again you've helped and encouraged him with a glowing reference and assurance that if its not for him as a career he has a job waiting for him. You are brilliant Kirk a true gentleman

[@Onthetrowel]

Thank you pal

[@graememunro3973]

You’re not only good with your hands buddy - you also have a great and positive attitude in general. That will have rubbed off on Kyron and he will take that forward with him in life. Keep doing what you’re doing and feel empowered! People are watching, listening and enjoying. Attitude = Altitude and you are on it my son 👏👌

[@paultowns9880]

What a video Kirk, it brought a tear to my eye. You have to take your hat off to Kyran for following his dream. It sounds like you have been a good friend to him. Take care.

You know what i like about your videos is, how genuine your are, your firm but fair with the lads. The main thing is that when your show people your technics your showing them YOUR way. Your not saying do it like this and like that is how you say I do it like this and that. Ive never done plastering. I am your average DIYer lol. Your videos really intrest me overall. U wash kyran all the best in his new job, there are few too many of lads like him.

Kirk.. beautiful words to say goodbye to a worker and a friend. All the best to Kyran in his new career. Good luck to the new lad when they join but I do wish I'd of had someone like you train me when I was younger I'd of probably stayed in the construction industry.

[@threewheelsmad]

Best of luck young man stay safe..

[@stuarthardy8202]

Maybe you might wish to consider offering your young lad the opportunity of part work! I realise the thumb nail mention it wasn't about money! And it isn't he clearly has a good heart! As he leaving, essentially for others to benefit from. However, we all need to take care of ourselves as well as he will realise at some point there's two types of reward one's job satisfaction. Other type of satisfaction is knowing you haven't sacrifice too much as the industry he's going into will limit his life opportunities eg mortgages won't be applicable to him and he'll condemned himself to paying rent forever even into his retirement as his industry won't look after him as there's too much Greed. So kindness is a blessing so if you can show him some kindness in return by offering him the reverse partook of weekends if this is pluseable with a little bit of flexibility from all parties I promise if you consider this your rewards will be bountiful.

Best thing about a lad an apprentice an oppo what ever ya wanna call um . Is keeping in touch . Is seeing how they grow . Is being invited back into their lives not as a boss but as that guy that exclusive" family " member at their wedding or some other important moment . Talking on about their perspective of what ya got upto together . And to see how that little wind up of a lad has grown n developed. 👍🏻. Ow and mad job that you made it look easy . Timing is everything 👍🏻

I think every comment that has been written on this video is the humbling truth that with all the bad shit that seems to drown us daily like an anchor around our ankles that there is still love, loyalty and respect still in this world. We all see the humble sorrow you carry but as cliche as it may sound kirk, i hope you carry double in pride in your heart knowing youve gave time patience and soul to a lad thats gonna make the world that little bit brighter and spread joy and happiness like you do daily in a slightly different way, every day. Onwards and upwards to bigger ventures fellas, proper inspiration and good morals. Respect to you both

[@stormtraders]

Plasterer for 13 years now. Had my younger brother with me for the past 5 years. We were crushing jobs. He did however changed jobs because I didn’t have work for him every day of the year. Some holes here and there you know how it goes. Feel a bit sad but going at it alone again is also something that can be refreshing again. I noticed i felt quite stressed for keeping him busy and stuff. Also being in some sort of burnout for the past 2.5 years doesnt help but hey what can you do.

[@lmilne4859]

Great lad that all the best to him.

[@leerunsultras]

[@mrsandman1416]

Products such as halftime work by acceleratoring the reaction of crystal formation. We use these in chemistry all day long and has use in food, manufacturing and even medicine. For a chemical reaction to occur you need a series of conditions such as temperature, humidity, pH etc. When these vary the reaction can still happen but not at the optimal rate. Sometimes this is intentional such ss plastering as you don't want it to dry too quick or too slow so you generally create a product which meets the needs of most customers. You can then manipulate the environment but adding more water etc but this will affect the physical property of the plaster and make it harder to work with. Less water is also true. You can't always control temp or humidity so ph is the obvious candidate. But adding too much can force a bad reaction leading too poor crystalline maturity affecting life of the finish.

[@benotoole1990]

Good luck Kyran also anyone know any plasterers in Staffordshire that need a lad?

[@damon9153]

Good luck Kieron 👍🏻

[@carlsrant8038]

I've been plastering since I left school now 63 plastered lots of flat walls and a few bumpy ones just to pay the bills. Have I made a difference in anybody's life that I have done plastering for no. So good luck Kieran making a difference means more than making money . The more money you make the more you spend on useless crap to find something that Kieran has probably already found.

You so so right about 'feeding ' your workers 😅.. I know I definitely had more umpth in my work with bit fuel for my belly lol. Incidently I worked once for a weeks work for a m8 of a m8. I was told lunch was always sorted so not to worry about bringing anything in or making other arrangements. This held true for first 2 days then 3rd day I was left with nothing as he had go off and I was miserable by lunchtime rolled around and started lagging rest afternoon.. no good m8 😅 Obviously as well younger blokes working for someone 'mostly ' know and wont just nip off site to pop shop or for any other whim without asking first at least. Being the boss of courss you can get away from having to look at the job for bit here and there especially if its all going tickity boo 🙃

Sad and great video as always. I thought scratch coat needed 2 weeks to dry?

[@fuzzylumpkins6034]

Plastering is a hard graft, early starts, if it can go wrong it does and it is back breaking. There is no pension plan. What you earn is what you make . It pays great right now but the fall out from years of a hard graft catch up all to much in your late 40s and early 50s (I know this very well.) Best fortunes Kyran.

[@davidpattison5860]

Hi there @fuzzylumpkins The building trade/ construction industry is famous for self employed tradies not paying their stamp which will give them full state pension when they retire , also there are private pension schemes which when you choose to retire pay out decent cash , but many of my friends who worked as electricians plasterers and joiners , are now on £300 a month pension because of not paying a stamp and spending all earnings , also not putting money away each month as a holiday fund , how many times have you heard I don’t get paid for my holidays , young guys entering the trades should be taught and explained to about future living , pay your stamp take out some extra pension and the number one is stop going to the pub after every job and put the money you spend on beer into some kind of future investment, Have a great day , regards Davy
