I knew when we started this build, the two jobs that I didn't want to do was the roof, with its associated height challenges (me!) and the plastering of the drywall.
Well we resolved number 1, by getting a contractor to put the roof on but the plastering was done by ourselves - its not the actual plastering, or the cleaning up (I'm not the neatest person and tend to work in a mess) it's the preparation prior to painting.
Sanding! dusty, hot and lots of superfine dust, even though we had bought a drywall sanding machine, it gets everywhere.
After 10 minutes of sanding you end up looking like a white rat, complete with red eyes.
If you are living in the same area everything gets covered by a coating of fine dust, that takes days of cleaning to get rid of.
We have decided that we will resist the temptation in the 2nd stage to move in until it's completely finished. -
