JamieP Posted March 11, 2008 Share Posted March 11, 2008 any tips anyone? My advice would be to wall board the inside (stick plasterboard to the walls with board adesive) its very easy and quick to do, id get someone that knows what they are doing to do the outside. rendering is not as easy as it looks.

Rob Dublin Posted March 11, 2008 Share Posted March 11, 2008 its not meant to be facework Wasn't knocking your work, just general comment. I remember being in Spain and seeing an external staircase being built from blocks on a hill perpendicular to the slope! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
