Hello Tilers.

[PS Tiling]

Hello all,
I've been 'lurking' for a while here on the Forum but have decided the time is right to introduce myself!
I have been labouring for a plasterer mate of mine now for a couple of years, occasionally we are asked to tile the odd bathroom or kitchen. When these opportunities 'pop-up' my mate encourages me to take the lead! I have come onto the Forum for hints & tips, I have also purchased the odd book in an attempt to achieve a greater knowlege.
I'm no 'spring chicken' and although I am now reasonably trained on the 'trowel' my age and health are against me. I am considering my future at the moment and wondering if maybe I should consider tiling & painting & decorating more & plastering less????

Look forward to talking with you.
Phil

I'm 44 now, 45 soon & have a small problem with the old 'ticker'!
Yes, plastering is tough & very physical work, my mate is 52 years old has been 'at it' 31 years and works like a dog! But his ticker is good.
I had no intention of picking up the trowel but found myself 'watching' him sweat for best part of the day, so decided to help out!

Hi & welcome to TF. Plastering is a hard game to be in. Tiling isn't as strenuous but still can be knackering at times. Painting & decorating may be a safer bet for the old ticker.
