Since we've moved in and had various bits of plastering done by various people, it's got to the point where i'm curious enough to ask - how easy or difficult is it to skim a perfect wall, or at least very close to. Obviously i'd ideally want a perfect flat wall with no bumps, no imperfections...

I'm not really sure if this should be in the plumbing forum or electrical forum (or elsewhere). We have a problem under our living room floor where it fills up with water. It seems the area must've been built on wet land as the water just comes up from below. The span is about 25m2 and if...
