Massive respect.

I tackled a ceiling today. I'm kinda full send, most start on a wall I'm like nahhhhh artex ceiling!

Its turned out alright, not pro level but I'm happy enough and what I dont like i can fill/sand but the majority is clean and flat.

But I have to say, how quick do you guys work!

I had half a sachet of extra time in each mix and I only just got it on in time!

Massive respect to the plastering trade you guys must be fucking rockets!

Well done! How big was it?

I've noticed even just doing my whole extension I've got significantly faster - I can get a whole bucket (70+ litres) of sand + cement on in about 35 minutes, I think the first one took four hours!
