Sitar player from the future?

No, this man is not a musician, he's a plastering master. And that is a sander/vacuum in one. If there's one thing we've learned down here, then it's to know when to accept that some things are best done by the pros. I (Neil) tried my hand at the dark art of plastering, with good results, but we've handed the perfecting over to Francis, a traditional platre artisan. Plastering a full wall usually doesn't exist in France; they just plaster the joins between dry wall sheets, which leaves a slight floor to ceiling bump every 60cm. So he's going against the French grain to give us a baby smooth finish.
