Well guys we are finished our bit of blocklaying successfully and its all solid as a brick wall . Having rang around quite a bit we are having difficulty getting someone to come and pebbledash it now to match the rest of the house. Why not have a go ourselves?
After a little bit of research we have come up with the following.
1. Dust down and paint with PVA mixture.
2. Plaster on sand and cement mix and 'scratch' it.
3. Leave for a few days.
4. Plaster on final sand cement mix(wetter).
5. Mix up pebbles with sand and cement and 'fire' onto wall with bucket trowel.
6. Install the window and plaster the reveals.
Are we doing this in the right order?Should we put the window in first then plaster the reveals, then do the rest?Dying to have it finished for Christmas!!
Thanks for any help!
