Making good

Chris Pearson
After a rather hard day on site today (daughter's rewire) Mrs P said that if she was paying an electrician, she wouldn't necessarily get the chases filled. I said that an electrician would if she paid him (or her). Then Mrs P said that an electrician would never repaint the wall. I said that an electrician would if she paid him (or her).


Who is correct?

    Some interesting tips - thank you.


    Gyproc Easifil was recommended on my course, but I don't like it much. It needs to be made up more sloppy than you might think and then it thickens up. It sands easily but must be left at least overnight. It can shrink.


    Now we come to the old downlighters, which have left unsightly holes in the ceiling. I have donated some spare laths from my own ceiling which I pulled down earlier this year - Artexed, so I am going to die a horrible death. Whilst I am prepared, at a push, to rip out the damaged laths back to the joists, I am not inclined to apply lime plaster over them. A spreader can do that.


    That said, forget horse hair, I have patched plaster in the past using beard hair. Seriously! ?
