Apparently, according to the experts online, if you plaster over a painted area it will bubble up no matter what.
Phew! - spent the last couple of days wondering what I could have been doing wrong. Turns out it's nothing and I can merely scrape off, then fill the holes left by the bubbles in my plaster job! Made good progress on house over last few days - 1. have chiselled a lump (plaster/plasterboard) out of the wall and attempted replaster over it (not too bad for a novice...needs a bit of polyfilla/sanding though) 2. made more progress sanding the walls in the back bedroom (long, on-going task, as plasterwork not great - needed much polyfilla, and besides I'm turning into something of a perfectionist!) 3. stripped and sanded down the back bedroom windowledge (looks gorgeous wood now...was previously messy white gloss...discovered it had previously also been yellow, red, pink, and dark green - I dread to think how any of those looks combined with the door frame, which was once lilac!) 4. cleaned and waterproofed (back of) a skirting board (damp proof company hadn't done this one, and needs top-up DPC behind it) 5. cleared more rubble from behind the removed skirting board (which was no doubt interferring with the DPC) Today I'm tired so have spent most of the day researching DIY activities - it's suprising how much you learn when you find yourself doing up a house more-or-less single-handedly! |

I really should've left the country for New Year.
Hope you're all having a good one so far. |
