Took on a small job but it needs to be finished ASAP because the house has holiday Tennant's coming very soon.
It's a large inside chimney wall floor to ridge height. Chimney been taken down to ground level and built back up. I'm doing the plastering, painting, timber floors etc... Scaffolding up and ready to float and skim. Once the scratch coat is on, leave to dry some then skim then paint. Thing is, what's the shortest you would paint onto newly plastered walls. Shortest we've ever painted onto fresh walls has been a week and that's with the heating on, dehumidifier and Windows open during the day. I know best to have dehumidifiers on with Windows closed but that's how the builders wanted it done.
You see, soon as the skimming is finished, I really need it painted asap so can take scaffolding down to do the floor and bring it to another job waiting. Would it be cowboy builders material if I paint 2 days after skimmed?
If it comes to it, they holiday Tennant's might just have to sleep in the shed but I'd prefer to get this done and dusted for them coming.
