The Plastering

Wall on the facing right side - with blown and cracked plaster

Blown plaster

We're about to have the entire hallway painted and decorated but a slight hiccup occurred. Most of the walls in the hallway are either new or are able to be 'lined' with lining paper for a smooth finish ready for paint.

Earlier in the week our decorator gave us the news that he couldn't possibly do anything with this particular wall and the only way he could decorate further was if we had it replastered! 


The old plaster had 'blown' and it couldn't be fixed unless it was removed and replastered.  It's a very small wall and to give you an idea, this only cost £40.  But just as all the dust in the house has finally started settling, this had to be done.  Plastering isn't a clean job. Somehow, every time we've had anything plastered, the entire house seems to be covered in a veil of grey dust.  Anyway, it only took 2 and a half hours and now we have a freshly plastered wall ready for decoration.
