hi, i'm new on here, and in need of some tips please.
I'm building a block shed in the back garden, so far so good, i'm looking at preparing it for a render finish, and then going to paint it, so far I've bought myself a Tyrolean gun, plastering sand, cement, i'm just after some advice now as to the best mix ratio to use, and the best way to apply the mix to the walls, i'm not a builder, but i'm not afraid to attempt anything, as the photo shows, this is all my own work, from digging the foundations to laying the tiles on the roof, inc all the labouring too, and as 80% of the materials had to be carried through the house by myself too, you can appreciate, i'm not afraid of a bit of graft.
any tips would be most useful
