Hello all. I'm looking for some advice on what to do with (now) garden walls that were previously interior walls.
We knocked down an extension in order to create a courtyard garden about 18 months ago (it's a slow renovation!). The walls that were previously inside the extension are now going to be the garden walls of various heights. My questions is, is it imperative that I remove the plaster and skim on the walls before it is rendered? If it is, any suggestions on how to do it as it seems firmly attached. I have attached some photos of how it looks after 18 months of being exposed to the outside - the large (still white) wall is north facing and the smaller wall south facing (dark area is a shadow). They are all brick built cavity walls. We live in a coastal area if that makes any difference. Thanks so much for any help.
