I stripped the horrid wallpaper of my hall stairs and landing - came off clean on the walls and ceiling on the stair rise, but the crappy woodchip on the ceiling at the landing is proving to be a git! I dont have ladders long enough and even if i did - my arm muscles are dying on me with all this scraping.
Anyways, enough of this waffle - i want to be able to paint it but - it needs skimming so my questions are....
1. I have had a quote for £350 - this doesnt include removing and replacing the radiator [i have to find someone else to do that
] is this a good/bad/middling kinda quote?
2. Can u skim over woodchip? - or is that just a shoddy thing to do? :-[
3. Are hall, stairs and landings the mother of all jobs and therefore it needs an experienced plasterer to do it so is the 2nd yr plastering student, a mate of my daughters, who says he could do it for £100 having a laugh and needs kicking into touch? is it worth the risk?
if you read this - thanks
if you reply to this - even betterer!
;D
