Thanks for the heads up. May go for this but looking out for more of a Satin finish: https://www.screwfix.com/p/sadolin-2-5ltr-ebony-matt-solvent-based-interior-exterior-wood-stain/9715r

Been a while :) Plan was to plaster with myself. First wall on f*ck that scrapped it off and waiting on a plasterer to fit it in :ROFLMAO: Come a long way now. Built the stud work, insulated, plasterboarded. I filled the joints because I planned to plaster and it was one less thing to think...

Bit of an update on plastering as a DIY guy. Ended up building a wardrobe of sorts and had success plastering the inside walls. Hired a plasterer to do the bulk of my house. That was money well spent to be honest. Fast forward to last week and I move onto the final room in my house, the...

Hello all, I have a new stair case to paint. Made up of a mix of Pine and MDF. Want to paint the treads but I can't for the life of me find a paint that is suitable. I've found a black stain here...

And you ain't posted s**t. All talk nothing to back it up. Imagine spending your time talking s**t on a forum anonymously. That tells me all I need to know about your failure of a life :ROFLMAO:

You talk so much nonsense. The guy who did my last roof was a "roofer" by trade. The EPDM was full of air bubbles all over the place, he slapped it on as quick as possible. No care, no passion. The pitch is right on the roof apart from that area due to a drop in the board.

Internal wall. The one with the black jack bricks is external. I've set the timbers off the wall and the floor has 2 DPM as part of the concrete.

Pulled off most the old plaster. Was a really strong sand/cement, shot in most places. The plan is to build the wall off the timber and insulate with rockwall for sound. Is it worth using a really weak sand/cement to fill some of the worst areas or just leave it as is?

@Dollar I contacted the EPDM company. Showed them the photos. They are not at all concerned with the pooling. They said EPDM is designed to handle pooling water to an extent and the pooling is not occurring at a joint or seam. All in all it might take a few years off the EPDM life but I am not...

As long as you had fun that's all that matters ;) All jokes aside as a fellow DIY plasterer it's so hard. I'm not touching any plastering in this heat. Out of interest did you use any Extra Time? If not would be worth using for your next go whichever you choose to do.

Thanks mate (y)

Haha thank you brother. I haven't been diagnosed but my son (3) has been. One trait is an obsessive personality and that's helped me a lot in life. It helped me start and grow my business as it gave me a narrow focus. Currently my focus/obsession is finishing my house doing as much as I can...

I'm pretty autistic bro and it shows ;)

After the concrete pour the floor was 70% level. That one bag of self leveler has got it to a good 85% level. The bubble is within the lines anywhere I put the level. Not perfect but it's flat and smooth and ultimately a downstairs toilet so I'm happy with it :) I either leave it or get another...

Finally got around to doing the self leveling. First go doing it, happy with the look. Gave it another coat of SBR, waited 2 hours for it to dry. Used a trowel to spread it and went over it a couple of times with a spiked roller. The real test will be tomorrow with a level ;)
