FAO any plasterers

[Amin Arrears]

When stripping wallpaper a fair sized chunk (about square 50cm or so) of the 75 year old plaster fell off the bricks where it had gone soft. I want to get a vinyl wallpaper up on that wall ASAP. What can I use on the bricks that will dry fast so I can paper it before the year 3000?

I'm thinking cut out a big square section, screw some board into the brickwork then skim over and match it all in?

Interestingly the wall was tagged, signed, dated 1941 and has a swastika engraved in it

I get pissed a lot, does that count?
the swastika is a hindu sign for peace.

Indeed, it was everywhere on the predominantly Hindu Bali. I remember Kula Shaker using it in imagery and getting **** despite having this argument. Was a bit daft though, no matter the origin of the swastika everyone knows who adopted it.

I know **** all about plaster.

Go to B&Q they will advise you what products are best suited to your needs, not sure plasterboard will be the same thickness as the remaining plaster you want to match up to.

Just to be clear it's the bastardised nazi swastika engraved on the wall.

Make sure you declare any work done to the hmrc

Of course he should. The estimated £6bn a year lost to tax evasion by such professionals would transform the issues that lots of people hold dear.

Sexism is ok, but no politics.

You should pay yourself more, plasterers are expensive.

I'm saving myself VAT, income tax and nics so it's a decent rate.

You should get a fixed price otherwise you'll just drag the job out to get more cash.

What was the point?

 

[bum_chinned_crab]

What was the point?

The plaster was in poor condition and i wanted to paint directly on to it.
