February 15Feb 15 Swmbo’s friend ( I don’t have any myself ) asked me to look at some skimming they were having done . It’s a 1800 cottage or something - you know exposed brick , exposed timbers . I went in the lounge where the plasterer was . ” Alright mate , that looks good I like how you’ve made it look uneven to fit the character of the house “ I said His face dropped and he responded “ that’s flat mate “ I said no more . Perhaps it was the light . But I think my cocks flatter than that (expletive deleted)ing wall !
February 15Feb 15 Author Seriously I thought he was skimming it with that deliberate non evenness - because most of the house is that style anyway .

February 15Feb 15 Years ago we where having some walls re-skimmed after damp proofing work in a 200 year old rural end-of-terrace house. I floated the idea of a 'rustic' finish, and the plaster refused without hesitation: "There's enough character in 'ere without f***ing the plastering up". 😆
