Is this as bad as it looks?

[John0]

We're having our whole house extended and renovated after being stripped back to brick. The ceilings are all new plasterboard but some are boarded over the original.

To be fair I was shining a torch across the surfaces so unsure whether these imperfections will show in normal lighting but would prefer not to decorate before finding out.

Any thoughts appreciated.

Can I ask what telescope you use for such great pictures of the surface of the moon?

 

[Stewie03]

It’s s**t

Glasgow?

Glasgow?

No, why?

No it is not ok from any angle, but presume that is new boards on old joists? Not that it is any excuse for the actual plastering. Clearly applied with a Badgers arse.

Yeah Looks rough but shining a torch down anything would make good jobs look different too

I'm very new to this game, and I tell you what, I'd never leave a job like this whatsoever.

Shocking.

Don't let that idiot set foot in your house again, and don't pay him a single penny. He's vandalised your house - I'm not joking.

Are you sure they used plaster boards and not tarpaulins?! You’d have done a better job yourself tbf.

Something fishy going on, how come the walls are so clean. Goodfellas my favorite film.

This is what I was wondering about. It definitely looks terrible with the light casting shadows but what would a good job look like if you shone a light across it? Is it a fair test?

Not really do it on the rest of the walls or ceilings in the house you'll be in hor a shock I'm not saying it ain't rough but you'll see the difference

 

[MIXERMAN]

Very clean work.

 

[jamesthefirst]

So, does this mean it proves that there are aliens on surface of the moon?

You did it didnt you

I think it's the low barrier to entry for what appears to be an in-demand-good-rates, grab-it-and-run, trade.
It's the one trade that the ordinary householder is not prepared to have a DIY go at. They have no idea of the right price/quality and wants to rely on someone else who claims to have the skill.

I thought that.

That looks about an inch thick and walls look much better than ceilings.

Boarded old joists and never batoned it out. Tried to level it up with skimcoat and ended up in the s**t.
