Plaster cataster

When you wish you could turn back the clock

My dust sheets were still in a nice pile on a chair in the middle of the room!

The photo above was taken in the dining room, which was to be the first of two rooms to receive the tradesman’s treatment.

Arriving home after work on the first monday of plastering, anticipation and fear my companion. My first footsteps into the landscape of DIY had been violated my vogue laminate cast as naught as the master plasterer chanced his subtle hand upon my walls…, and the floor

Watching the plaster dry

Days later after severe tooth brush cleaning into the floor joins mopping, vacuuming dust, discovering a new use for the universally talented baby wipe and our guy had flown off into the sunset it was time for the sanding.

To be fair, all the plaster residue did clean up eventually, and once we had painted the walls a good finish was observed, and it was a very good price at the end of the day.

I don’t even know how long the process took, it is still going on, slowly now we have the dust under control, we have the computer set up, be gone with you beastly useless laptop. Still got final paint coat to do door frames, lights, that’s a story for another day. Span tackles the electricity, rewires lights blah blah, lights don’t work. I love this DIY Shiteee

We shall end on a happy note.

The cleaning proper

Tis the beer of the night..

Got the computer back. I am happy.
