Hi all,
ok my diy plastering has always come out with a decent end result. My journey takes longer, sometimes using a different route, but the destination seems to be the same
However, do i not like skimming ceilings?!
My new single floor extension with 12.5° roof (if it makes any diff(?)) is approx. 24sqm. It has 2 velux windows in it, has been insulated and is now ready for 12.5mm boards to go up.
I was gonna get bevelled edged boards in the hope that i could easyfill the valleys, and over the veluxe edged angle beads (feathering out), sand then paint to avoid skimming the whole damn area.
Hiring a pro is not an option (yet) as it will cost me quite a bit i reckon. I'm tempted to have a go myself, but i also have a damaged shoulder which i'm seeing the physio for so that's kind of scuppered my efforts really.
I'd appreciate your thoughts and advice on this please, our budget is sadly tight, so most of the internal build i'm doing myself, i've no problem skimming walls, its just the ceiling i find very daunting.
Thanks for any advice offered.
