He planned a grand opening for his showroom and the city shut down that same day Johnny from Spiver Canada and Decorative Plaster had the invitations out, the food and drinks ready and the local paper on the way. Then the mayor of Burlington declared a state of emergency and everything had to close. Only family, friends and the photographer made it. They still celebrated the opening. His take: it was a bump on the road, and there is always a silver lining. From the Lime Burned podcast with Michelangelo and Johnny from Spiver Canada and Decorative Plaster. #limeburned #limeplaster #venetianplaster #plastering #craftsmanship #italianplaster #decorativefinishes #artisan #plasterlife

The sample board is the whole pitch @endurasurface explains how particular he is about every sample that leaves the shop, down to the handwriting on the back, the Instagram handle and getting it stamped by the client. He describes shipping samples to out-of-state clients who compare them side by side with someone else's, flip his over, and hire him without ever realising he is in another state. In his view the presentation is a reflection of the work, and very few people in the trade know how to make or present a good board. The full episode has @michaelanjelos and @endurasurface talking plaster, travel work and building a finishing business out of Montana. #plaster #plastering #sampleboard #limeplaster #decorativefinishes #venetianplaster #wallfinishes #tradelife #craftsmanship #finishingtrades
