Haha I skimmed a kitchen ceiling about a month ago crack along the width of the ceiling told the fella I’ll look into that crack seems odd he was like nah no worries mate so I bed abit of render mesh onto it when I’m skimming it 2 days later he rings me up he said great job stew but that cracks...
Susspose it’s doable if you got another lad with ya doing the mixing and putting abit on but on your own f**k that I would rather just do one ceiling at a time on me own,then sweat me b*ll***s off trying to get three on and in and out of rooms flattening and wet trowelling and all the other...
Bungaroosh that horrible s**t mixed with sand salts stones bricks wood flip flops 2pence coins carrier bags I would of thought a lime render is the only option but god knows @themucky1
Personally if it was me doing it for a client I would bonding coat the walls and give it a
Devil float just for good measure really belts and braces then skim it,but there’s nothing wrong doing it the way @Steve Brown has said either
I had it a couple of years ago on an extension I was arguing with the plumber when I turned up as the homeowner told me he was chasing the pipes in the wall and the lazy c**t had wacked all copper pipes and brackets on the walls I had to dab off cut pieces into the smallest areas to pack it out...
It’s hard to say depends on the straw how compact is it how much damage is there to the straw that stramit is a right bitch most likely the boards have only been fixed to two horizontal studs top&bottom
Like the basics of how to stick and level your external beads,if your going to use sand&cement which you probably will end up asking in here what are the mix ratios your best off just using a ocr
As Steve said if u want to cut costs keep the bath and sink in get it plasterboarded with standard plasterboard and skim would be the cheapest way or plasterboarded with moisture resistant boards abit more extra on top if you go with those boards
