Dads DIY

I started working as a labourer in the building industry in 1991 during university vacations. To be honest, I found academia pretty awful but liked the down to earth nature of the people I was working alongside during the long breaks. I became close friends with one of the kindest (and most intelligent) people I have ever met: a jobbing builder and plasterer. Dave taught me plastering and the essentials of building and I enjoyed the work so much that I decided to gain qualifications in carpentry and plumbing.
