Hi, not dead (yet) - just been tied up :)
(I hope this works - just put this new "Gallery2" software on my web server)
Anyway:
I was wondering what to do with the coving that you will be able to just see at the top of the wall (I want to keep it):
a) I could either try to use a cranked SDS chasing chisel to chase up behind the coving, with no hope of plastering in that last 3 inches - using conduit so this doesn't seem to be a big problem...
b) Cut out a small section of coving, chase and replaster, then stick the coving section back and try to make it good.
What would you do? I'm veering towards a)...
Option c) which is to pull off all the coving and replace seems wasteful and extra work - it's decent plaster coving up there, not polystyrene.
Thoughts gratefully received...
*****On an aside:
Here's a 30 quid mixer I got off a mate:
On another aside...
And for what it's worth, those floorheater.co.uk underfloor heating panels I was wittering on about a few weeks back:
Well, here's a test sample fitted, to see how strong it all is:
Translating this into a real application, I could see that dropping something heavy onto a floor lined with this type of UFH panel might crack the tiles, whereas they'd probably survive is mounted conventionally...
But this is why we do tests on samples :)
