every thing was going to plan until we got to the hallways stage!
i planed to dab the wall but found that it was quite think at one end but then very very thin at the other so it needed to be hardwall. i dont use hardwall much only the patch work and this was a deep big patch (i took more plaster off than in pic)
any how knocked up 2 bags of hardwall layed it all on then realized i only had my large straight edge with me!
the wall was not straight from one end to the other as when heldfrom the first bit of wall to the last bit still on there was a huge gap showing on the old wall?
so i struggled to get a flat finish and also i think i may have layed it all on to thick and maybe to wet as it was sagging over the edges quit alto and wouldn't stay back!
feels like a basic skill but i think I'm ready to quit on the old backing coats as every time it turns into a night mere! i had to leave it all ruff and uneven as it was now 6pm, luckily i have another spread coming in to try and sort it out for me but that's money outa my pocket and time wasted.. ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh
here is a pic of the job it was both sides by the end and alot more plaster was taken off the walls before this was taken.
