    Plastering course

    Totally random here guys and gals......

    I am looking and wanting to learn the craft of plastering. I have had an internet search for courses around Auckland but nothing really stood out or made sense.

    Does anybody know of any night or part time courses that are available in the Auckland or indeed anywhere area? lol.

    Is anybody a plasterer on here and wants a free labourer for a week or two so I can learn?

    Any help would be appreciated

    Go to a construction site and see if you can get some work as a solid plasterer. Good experience for fiberous plastering and you get paid while you learn.

    nearest any one with no experience will get to solid plastering on a building site will be shoveling sand into a mixer

    I got a job solid plastering for Mainzeal contracting when I was 18, walked in off the street up the top of Queenstreet and started straight away.No experience either.
    Did it for almost a year too.

    What this guy says

    Tradies just cant get people for manual labour job like these that involve getting dirty, dusty and physical etc...
    Sure there's prob an art to it but its one of those learn on the job type things rather than do a course id say.

    An early boss of mine was watching me mix up some FLC (Floor Levelling Compound) and said '' the more you play with it the harder it gets''

    Try the polytechnic - they run courses for that stuff in CHCH so Aucky should be similar?

    You say it like its difficult or them is some kind of implied security operations at these sites.

    Its a piece of piss to enter any site, finding someone who speaks English and wants to sign a consignment note or communicate in ways outside of the blank stoner stare is another story...

    Worksafe NZ WILL shut your site down and issue instant fines and generally ruin your day. Thats why the paranoia these days. Its not the fines as such it is the bureaucracy and the fact they are all Judge Dredd.

    You should have seen Victoria Street when they had that crane tip a few weeks back. I counted six Worksafe punters with clip boards etc at one point all standing and looking at the crane. Not, you know, fixing it or moving it. Just looking. one was taking photos.
