Renovation project - Is French plaster the same as English plaster - Noooooooo
It’s time to get the kitchen ready
for the new floor, john decides to plaster the entire back kitchen wall, and discovers
that his new super duper plaster is no longer quite so super or duper!
It is not that good on a big
surface and we are back to the normal cursing, he manages to get it finished
but he’s not happy, I say it looks fine, this does not help, then we go on to
the:
It is not fine
I don’t do fine
I do perfect.........
I try to appease him but give up, (I
am almost expecting to see him jumping up and down having a proper tantrum!!!!)
he’ll get it sorted at some point so instead I go back to my wood stripping.
Personally I think it looks
fantastic as do friends that stop by and have a look, but John is a
perfectionist! It is mad to think that he is getting so upset by a wall when we
are still living in a building site, but these things do happen, it is
something you have to come to terms with when using materials you are not used
too and that are very different to what you have used for the past thirty
years.
No chance that your perfectionist would go for the rustic charm finish then!
