Well, congratulations to Raven, CamiSu. I have worked beside female cabinetmakers , but I have never encountered an instance of a female plasterer before.

What made me wonder was the sheer physical exertion and strength involved in finishing a ceiling. Most people who are reasonably dexterous ( in which category I include myself) could learn to finish a wall, and make a satisfactory stab at it, but finishing a ceiling is a very different pot of bouillabaise. Trust me, I know ...

I admire anybody who is able to do it, and to do it quickly enough to make a living at it.
