We were somewhere around Barstow, on the edge of the desert, when the drugs began to take hold. I remember R D S saying something like:
Checker plate. Dead cool in the living room if you set it off with a Yank V8 on a display stand in the middle of the floor.
I've been thinking of alternatives to plastering, and the best I could come up with was p/bd and lining paper w several coats of paint on it. Ply is always an option, of course, but p'bd does at least not burn.
Are you going to sue?
T & G is a possibility.
What are you doing in a DIY group? the whole point of DIY'ing is enjoying the satisfaction of a job well done.
We were somewhere around Barstow, on the edge of the desert, when the drugs began to take hold. I remember The Natural Philosopher saying something like:
I quite fancy doing one room in wainscoting, and T&G is a deffo for it. Quite likely, ply above that.
I hate T&G, my ex father in law ruined my kitchen with that some years ago. Hardly a day goes by where I don't get the urge to tear it out.
Fortunately I can keep most of my DIY urges under control.
Well if I have it plastered it wont be DIY.
Plus TBH I reckon it would be nice to break away from the whole long, flat wall thing and do something a bit different.
Loe it or hate it, like woodchip pare.. ;-)
In its place its fine. It doesnt suit my house tho.
Gong to get a grand of oak and fire up the router and do some paneling, book vases and hifi center etc etc..sod the wall behind it :-)
Book cases can hide a multitude of sins up to about 8' or higher if you have library steps.
And you can take them with you when you move.
Might need to buy some more book to fill them but that's not onerous. There are still many subjects about which I do not have a single tome.
