lol upstairs down stairs

another way could be to cut wood circle larger than hole in cieling , then cut new size with in it, then cut it in half. Put both pieces up through the hole and seal them back together with wood strips. Then glue to the back of the cieling and continue the same as above. This way at...

:shock: sounds like an attack lol, its possible to scratch what plaster you have underneath so be gentle :)

thanks will look into the wax applications, i had visions of hours and hours of rubbing in on one spot..been watching to many old movies :lol:

i need little maintance , like gloss when it needs rubbing down, as the ceiling is high, i don't want to be up there in another few years. i've seen linseed oil applied to wood and it soaks in is there something like that i could use. thanks OJ

i am no professional but my attempt would be similar to how i have just filled unwanted down lighter holes. use No nails to glue 4 pieces of wood around the hole edge but on the top side of the cieling. ( i used straight across as was covering the hole up. Cut a piece of plaster the size...

should come off ok, never found woodchip was a problem with a steamer, even better if you make cuts with a stanley in areas first. cielings, :roll: I have a half stripped cieling to finish, not looking forward to it either as it must have been put up with super glue :?: .

I used an aerosol for some skirting and a door frame. It already had white gloss applied. It was rubbed down but the aerosol paint is now flaking off, so i am not sure if it needs a sealer. I have also used aerosol Spray direct on mdf which worked fine for a desk top. So i am not...

i've just finished T&G ceiling was going to paint it with white emulsion straight on or watered down to show the grain but it looks lovely as pine. I don't want to varnish as it means rubbing down in the future. i cant varnish stood up let alone upside down and 20ft up a wall. Is there...

If thats the way you like it then yeap thank you for the adjustment, if i am different from you then its possibly we have walked a different route in life. No big deal really, although my education was very limited, i still prefer to have the extra ability to accept people without judgment.

Thanks john had an electrician in on saturday got the boards up checked the connector and all looks ok, but the smell is like resin but it is not at the fridge? I can take a photo all it will show is a brown circular connector with 3 wires 2 off the ring and the spur wire through the ceiling...

The other sad point is there are so many cowboys that never seem to be shut down, and theres no governing bodies that care. The workers add on unecessary items and faults and what work they do carry out is a mess. Ive just got to the point now i don't trust anyone im paying :(

Hiya moving a plug up through ceiling over 3 meters and back down. problem is both wires are to short. 1 is unmovable and goes through the supporting wall somewhere far to awkward for me to get at. the other wire is the last to the consumer unit. so no leeway on that side either...

send it to your local MP and ask him to pass a law that these type of trades should have TAX relief so as to make them accessible to a persons income and not the average income as stated at £22,000 :roll: ( i wish) better make that low income. when this happens i wouldn't hesitate to call...
