1st 20 years will be the hardest.. My advice is to listen, watch, learn. Eat well to keep your strength up... Learn how to tie knots,stack materials, how to handle them and especially how to use skirting ladders... If you have a good attitude,, have the piss taken out of ye from time to time... You'll be alright,!

The fact you have painted and shifted gear puts you head and shoulders above the one's we usually end up with. Work hard do what your told when your told and before you know where you are you will be roaring like a bull at some wee half wit who is wondering where it all went wrong for him.:bigsmile:

Grow an extra layer of skin on your "humping shoulder". Watch and ask. Making mistakes is the best way to learn. Being told something wont work is a lot different to finding out it wont work. As long as its not a major mistake though! Be prepared to suffer from a bad back for the rest of your days.
