The decorating i mentioned earlier in this thread did not, i repeat, NOT, go to plan.
Living room, fine, covered everything, de cob webbed, sanded, cut in the edges, painted with a roller, tidied up, 2 hours flat, done!
And then came the bathroom......
There was a tiny little area that used to blister up on one of the walls, only a very small bit, about the size of a 10p coin if not smaller, so i thought, no probs, ill sand that bit away, build out the part that is bare plaster with fine surface filler and repaint.
No such fooking luck, because of the fact that this blister, once sanded, kept peeling away all around it, and in the end i was left with about a 6 inch piece of bare plastered wall.
So i removed all the paint until it didnt flake away easily anymore, built out with filler, and then preceeded to paint.....
once i started to use the roller on that wall, sheets of old paint about 4 inches wide and 6 odd inches long were dragging themselves off the wall and sticking to my roller, resulting in a hideous area of about 2 foot by 1 foot area of bare wall!
Now, i did a little work on sites before, and i used to help the plasterer then, so i am fairly sure that the finish of a plastered wall isn't supposed to be shiny like a polished piece of glass, which it is, and is part of why the paint has fell off because it simply has nothing to stick to, and the other reason is, why the hell have the painters who did this place used water based vinyl matt in a bathroom, its water based, no use in wet conditions whatsof--kingever!
Seriously, take a look of the state of my bathroom now!!!
And after i calmed down a bit i added my view on the whole situation lol
So tomorrow it will be drive to b and q get some PVA, sand the whole entire wall down so its really rough, mix PVA with water, roll it on, wait, then re paint and hopefully it will be OK.
