Hello - first actual plastering attempt complete!

[DerickWilson]

Hey all,

I'm Derick and just wanted to say hi and thank you for some of the advice on here. I have been reading through various threads to get tips when needed recently - have just replaced a bathroom lath and plaster ceiling with plasterboard and then skimed it. Went on a short plastering course recently and this was my first proper go since then (thankfully on my own house!). Came across a few tricky bits that I wasn't prepared for like the sloped corner (simple things like realising my trowel wouldnt fit into the tight angles!) but I got there in the end!

Thank once again, Derick

Well done
You managed to grout your tiles at the same time

Did you scrim that top joint where ceiling meets sloping wall?

Nope

As a first time you've got a right to feel pleased about how it's turned out, sure you have learnt lots.
Thanks for having the nerve to put it up on here for the pro's to have a look at.
Which course did you go on?

Looks ok and not a large area to snag. Though as mentioned your gonna get a lovely crack if you dksnt tape that joint

Good place to start, you don't look at the ceiling when using the bathroom,
Make sure you do a good job of the floor, which does get looked at.
