I think panelling is making a comeback. I’m planning to do some in my soon to be mancave. Probably just half height. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Primed then painted with an acrylic eggshell (wall above is same colour but a regular vinyl matt) it gives the illusion of it being a solid panel. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thorongil Posted June 23, 2021 Share Posted June 23, 2021 This is a good thread to find. I’m always doing some kind of home improvement in big or small ways, but often get experts in to do stuff I can’t do myself. built my own house 5 years ago and it’s the best thing I’ve ever done. Always doing wee bits inside and outside and it’s satisfying to improve something. Next project is a big double garage with a good sized room above it as my office/refuge. Plans in at the moment, hopefully build it in the spring. Air Source Heat Pump, solar panels etc. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brother Blades Posted July 28, 2021 Share Posted July 28, 2021 Anyone ever done their own plastering? Looks easy but no doubt is a b*****d to get right.I had a go at it, doing up the girlfriends mums living room & had artex on the walls, used a stripping chemical which was shite & resulted in plasterboard that looked like some had taken an axe to it!Did the plastering - even bought all the floats etc & it was hard as f**k to do, spent about a week sanding to get the walls flat.I should have just replaced all the plasterboard in hindsight. I did have to install some new plasterboard after some plumbing work had been done & did the Ames taping & finish myself, which was a piece of piss. Advice- get a plasterer in if it’s a large area needs done. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shandon Par Posted August 15, 2021 Share Posted August 15, 2021 Obviously I’m biased but painting a floor is such a cheap and easy way to smarten a place. This floor had been sanded before but was too worn out to do again so it would have meant underlay or ply the carpet or machined floor. For about 45m sq that wouldn’t be cheap. Or get a tin of Armstead floor paint made up in whatever colour you want, a brush and a wee roller and DIY.. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
