Series
From Trowel to Teacher
Two lads. One mic. Not a clue — and that’s exactly how we like it.
Join Mick and Dave as they trade their trowels for tall tales, bringing you a fortnightly mix of banter, site stories, and pure plastering chaos. Whether you’re on the job or on the sofa, expect laughs, lessons, and the kind of chat you didn’t know you needed.
If you’re easily offended, best give this one a miss. But if you’re up for a good laugh, crack open a beer, sit back, and enjoy.
