    As a joiner who can skim a wall or ceiling and get a good finish but not a plasterer that ceiling would be absolutely terrifying 😆. I remember trying to plaster a ceiling 10 by 5m once years ago and the stress was absolutely horrific 🤣. Used the blue grit and the suction was absolutely insane. Was going off 20 mins into first coat. Looked horrible when finished tbh and really learned a lesson on where my skill levels were! Ended up not charging the customer any money and paid my decorator to easy fill sand and get it perfect! Anyone who doesn’t realise the skill involved in big ceilings needs to try one!!

    I am always impressed by how flat and smooth you guys get those walls and ceilings with just a trowel.
    I am replacing all the drywall in my house and if I could get that kind of finish without sanding it would be so much less mess to worry about.

    I'm in the process of buying a 200 year old property which will undoubtedly need some plastering. Have you done any videos on old properties? I'm confused as to whether it requires lime plaster or if I can use insulated plasterboard and skim with multifinish? It has solid 50-60cm walls.😮😮😂

    Kirk if you're staining wood then the grit of the sanding makes a difference on what you're using and how it absorbs into the wood. If you polish the plaster up then does that mess with the painters mist coat or base coat?

      Steroids.
      In my 20,s I was big into bodybuilding and I came across the work of a gentleman by the name of Mike mentzer. It was studying the life of Mike that I was directed to Ayn.
      Mike was a big fan of her writings as it influenced his bodybuilding journey.
