Whilst you lot enjoy your weekend
I have been plastering the lounge.
God that is a job I hate. I am crap at it. The plaster is going off before I can get it on. Smooth as a bear's ****. Just needs a skim I said to the wife. Now it needs ripping off and a professional. Just the bay at the front, has taken me a weekend. there are two 32' walls still yet to do.

Re: Whilst you lot enjoy your weekend
Plastering's one of those things I'll never do again
 Except patching, that's easy, but whole walls? No no no.

Re: Whilst you lot enjoy your weekend
Its all in the mix...
Once you have the mix mastered just slap it up - do NOT try to smooth out at this stage. Have a cup of tea...... flick some water and smooth. Sounds easy but you need some serious practice. It does get easier everytime trust me. |

Re: Whilst you lot enjoy your weekend
I rather plaster than replace/install insulation any day. I've been working on that this weekend. Cleaning out what was in the attic (some old dusty, itchy stuff) and laying down new pink fibreglass. The worst thing? 92* out today. That attic was like an oven.

Yuck fibreglass.
Yuck, plastering. Need to do a cieling here and I hate plastering cielings even more than I hate plastering walls. |
