right - i dont know how to link to my album where all my photos are but there are pics of the wall in there
the guy who plastered it last plastered over paint which had been applied to the bricks. there is a layer of yellow and then green over the top. the green paint became loose in places and the plater started to come with it.
The room is an old outhouse which is now a downstairs bathroom and the walls are not cavity ones so we get plenty of condensation.
i have started to remove the green paint but the yellow paint is stuck on pretty well.
my questions are:
1. what is the paint likely to be
2. am i ok plastering over the yellow paint (i was going to use a 9" grinder to score the wall so that it sticks better)
3. why are the bottom two rows of bricks black
4. why is it that the wall smells slightly damp (the bricks)
