My 1st Room

[Marleyjustin]

Well I think it's fair to say plastering my room didn't go straight forward & this is my 1st bit of plastering out of training, found some damp on the ceiling which turned out to be a leak in the roof wich delayed everything plus some other things I came across but I got there in the end. It's not perfect but I got some good experience. after I have painted this room I will be plastering another room in my house.
Im in still looking to do some labouring for someone, I live in Buckinghamshire & I will travel. If if anyone can help me out that would be great.

You have to allow this app to access you photos..

Or better still photo bucket and paste the URL to the main website

Looks ok mate for a first room. You will see how good or bad it is after it gets painted.

looks ok bud but like Stuart said its hard to assess fresh plaster, upclose and painted is the real test. Fair play for posting though :RpS_thumbsup:

He uses a wembley trowel

 

[beddy]

Lees right. His trowel has a roller on the back. I leave mine in a cross hatch pattern and Lee leaves his in a large circular pattern like you'd find at the nou camp in the 90s
