Re: Breeze block walls

Probably a reference to Hardwall plaster which is a base plaster coat & probably the most commonly used now but there are others; a sand/cement render base is also frequently used. Dry wall is probably a reference to “drywall lining” which basically ...

Re: i have this porch

Weather it’s regarded as expensive is subjective & based on what other action you can take to successfully repair what you already have, how long it will last, what sort of porch you want & on your financial circumstances. A decent, internally plaste...

Re: Rough cost of a (not so rough) plastering job.

I’d go with No1; he's thought about the best solution. It’s only a minor difference in level &, now I know the score, I would also go for battens & a board over the whole lot; no chance of problems then. Battening down is a bit more work than I origi...

Re: how to fix chip-board flooring to a new concrete slab . . .

Re: Rough cost of a (not so rough) plastering job.

Your with it. The problem with a large concrete mass is that it will usually crack where the concrete & PB meet, old style concrete lintels usually crack the plaster around their outline for the same reason. It's one of the reasons I asked if you cou...
