Plaster skimming walls?

There's now an Australian distributor for multi-finish
I imagine we'll start to see it used much more over here. Wish it was this easy to get 6 years ago.

Loft ladder recommendations

Hi,
I'm after a loft ladder which can be square set to fit flush with the gyprock. All the ones I've seen so far show an architrave being used.

It’s different to Boral’s hard plaster, that can only be applied to solid masonry/concrete surfaces. The multi finish can be applied to Gyprock.
Looks like there are now several companies…

Glad it worked out well for you. Out of curiosity how did you go about finding the product and someone to apply it?

Sealing and epoxy coating moist garage floor

Looks great. Did you use any sealer?

After taking another look. I like your idea of not filling the joins. Means I can do it in sections and once finished I can just silicone them.

Hi Stewie, thanks for the reply.
I discovered the FEG system on the Lincoln Sentry website, but they couldn't be any more unhelpful. They won't give out any details of anyone…

Hmm completely forgot about the water pressure difference. I really don't want to have taps blasting out water and soaking the kitchen, perhaps it's not worth the cost saving here.
