Ive got a bit of a mess of a nearly straight 1940's ceiling, textured paint, cracks and repairs. Im also insulating the sloping skeling portion, so have decided I might as well overboard the lot before getting in skimmed.
Only ever done the one skeling in the other room, where the pb on the rest of the roof was good enough not to overboard but any suggestions welcome.
Presumably I just mark where the joists are, and then measure and cut the boards as you would usually? (ive watched a youtube video of that...) and try to avoid the joints falling in the same place, and try to get most of the screws into the wood! Using a drywall screw bit if I can get one for saturday.
Im also going to throw a sheet of polythene vapour barrier up between the two, by stapling it to the old ceiling before putting up the new boards in the aim of reducing condensation on the bottom of my attic floorboards.
