hi guys,
After all of your great help the 3 bedrooms are now made good.. skimmed and mist coated, all good so far.
I've moved onto the hallway and removed a big cupboard that kindly removed a lot of plaster from the wall, no problem on this, bond and skim later.
In the picture above you should be bale to make out the wooden door lining that goes from the floor to the top left corner then along the top. I want to skim this opening as I don't need a door there.
The plasterer I saw at the weekend who was doing a ceiling said what he would do is screw 9mm plasterboard to the lining, tape the joints (if any), angle bead then skim. This is fine however I'm conscious of how narrow the opening is already and I don't want to lose anymore space for the sake of convenience. Could I just remove the existing wooden lining on the bottom and sides and then Dot and Dab to the bare brick? then skim, I know its only about 40mm-50mm bit in already narrow opening I think its worth the extra labour.
