Yes!! I love doing it myself. Have done all the painting, wallpapering, tiling etc in my home. I've built fences and when cars were a lot more simpler than they are now, I've replaced an exhaust system and other repairs on my cars. We are in the process of installing a new bathroom at the moment, so will give plastering a go once the gib board is up. I've done some plastering but it was many years ago and it was a very amateur learn as you go process. My husband is a builder so he can show me the correct way of doing it this time  |

Hey, a girl after my own heart. ;D I've only done wallpapering, carpeting, glazier, banged a couple of nails and a lot of donkey work. The reason I asked is because I need to learning plastering. My husband is a DIY disaster. I went to replace my cardboard doors he thought he'd help me and hang them but managed to stuff it up. So I have three cardboards that don't fit properly and a big hole. Bless his soul. not!  I've decided that I'll rip the exist cardboards out and replace them with kit sets, but that will have to wait until my next holiday break. |
