I am a diyer as jg puts it. I have been doing diy for 25 years now. My work is said to be great. In fact good enough for all people I have worked for.
This has included plastering and skimming. With practice it is possible to become better than many so called tradesmen that charge a fortune. We are not all made of money and you don’t always get a high class job when paid for. If you do it yourself and it works out fine then brill if not you only have yourself to blame. Lets face it you could have many goes at it to get perfection for the price of a Good tradesman. So I say goodluck to the DIY crowd and may the plaster be with you.
