Here are some pics of some of the plasterwork I am currently doing, because, again, it is unusual and you may find it interesting.
I decided to remove the internal double doors and frame from kitchen into conservatory in favour of just an opening, so that the garden features were visible from the dining table - once the conservatory is totally renovated.
I wanted to reduce the size of the opening but this meant bricking up the difference in matching brick which was too costly and time consuming, or studding up the difference in timber and plasterboard, which was far cheaper and quicker, but which would leave an ugly plastered panel between brickwork and new door lining.
I overcame the problem by replicating the brickwork on the plasterboarded studding and I think that by the time the entire conservatory walls are painted in an ivory masonry paint the 'faux' brickwork will be barely - if at all - noticeable.
I'm pleased to say that I managed this despite being handicapped by my dodgy fingers.
Thanks Ammi.

..I know that they would also just be strapped up if you went to A&E or the GP and you've done that yourself but the damaged bones could cause many future problems, things like arthritis related stuff, which really can be crippling and so painful so please Kirk, just go and make sure they're all strapped up ok and nothing needs t be looked at further..?../will you do that...
