Not a great pic, I'm at work. Mrs just sent it to me. Underfloor heating going in today

Dehumidifier, 2 mist coats and 3 coats of Mcphersons , perfect now

It was my builders idea, the plasterers didn't seem to think anything was wrong with doing it either. I didn't ' hug the first proposal' I read through the responses , spoke with the lads who plastered it and another plasterer that I know and decided that it seemed most likely that it was just...

Thanks kitchy. Just 2 more quick questions. Paint or not before drys fully? And ball park time for when u would expect it to be fully dry, appreciate that there are lots of variables

Thanks kitchy. What about painting it before they are properly dry? I know there are a lot of variables but how long about would you expect before they dry properly? What is the worse thing that could happen from the spread of the dots isn't ideal?

Walls with celotex too

Facials and fibreglass roofing system on Before boarding and plastering done. Insulated with celotex. Roof lantern not complete yet, just covered with polythene so probably getting cold in there at night which might not be helping drying

Yes, it was rendered yesterday. But it's a double skinned block wall with the required insulation between.

Worse today than yesterday!
