There was a crack on the plaster of the chimney of my wood over, and the chimney sweeper kind of demanded that I fix it.
So a week or so back, I took down a section of the old plaster and today I set to re-plaster it with lime plaster.
I don't have the needed skill/experience to plaster, nor do I have the skill or tools to mix the plaster, nor do I really have an understanding when the plaster mix is proper and good.
There was a lot of cursing and woe-on-me, the side portion remains unplastered, the front portion is kind of here or there, and I'm waiting if even that comes down when it dries up.
I have no f***ing idea what the "throwing the plaster on the wall correctly" is supposed to mean, but I'm pretty certain my way was the wrong way. So I ended up rubbing the plaster onto the bricks with a rubber glove. Every now and then at least some stuck.
f*** this shit.
