JR's post the other day prompted me I'd not posted anything in a while 
Just finishing the hall, and whilst it is not a massive achievement by pro standards, I am pleased with it because it had a mixture of things to consider, and techniques I've learnt over my time on the forum from you guys.
With the steel beam in there, there was some work with plasterboard.
I filled with float & set the bare block areas, and the whitewashed area on the left of the 2nd pic was new plaster - but about 3/4" inch out from plumb (where the builder had blocked up the old internal window) so I built it back level with the rest.
The yellow paint areas were old plaster underneath and a nasty shiny emulsion from eons ago, which is not fun to skim over.
Finally the reskim after taping all the joins brought it all together.
