To plaster or not to plaster? That is the question
We removed the woodchip wallpaper and the 40 years of paint that was on top of it. This is what we found.
Your eyes do not deceive you. There was a lady without her clothes painted underneath all of that. We have started calling her Natalie.
There was hole in the wall with newspaper stuffed in it that had just been papered over. Looks like an old socket.
We got a quote from a plasterer of £1200 to include plastering this and fixing a patch of blown plaster in the hallway. This is more than we can afford right now.
So . . .
I am completely new to DIY of any sort, although always keen to have a go. Is this DIY-able by someone who has no clue/experience but is willing to watch a lot of YouTube videos? Or do I just need to leave it for now whilst I save up to get the professionals in?
Any advice very gratefully received.
