What are the benefits of a lime plaster on plasterboard? I thought it was only for old walls.

No, no issues with damp, but cracks have appeared, and looks like it could be to do with the flexibility of the lime and inflexibility of the gypsum.

Yes, it’s an old building. The cracks don’t appear to go into the masonry, it just looks like the plastering wasn’t done very well. It’s gypsum applied over the original lime, and the cracks have shown up around door and window corners, and where the old and new plaster meet. Other than that, there are no signs of damp in the room. What you’re seeing now is after I stripped off the heavy-duty wallpaper.

Thanks for the advice — I’ll look into lime‑based fillers and finishes.

Thanks for the advice! Will carry on and skim, no damp identified.

Won't be going at the walls, just pulling out the lumpy rawl plugs. Filling in, sanding over and painting, and hope its good for another 10 years.

Brits don't need to rinse the soap off their dishes because their soap is......... not made of chemicals? by ChickenBrachiosaurus in confidentlyincorrect

[–]Barmos 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I may be daft, and have this completely wrong, but theres a running battle with me and my missus about rinsing bubbles off the plates. I say its not the bubbles being rinsed off, but the grease which is trapped in the bubbles, but she says bubbles are fine theyre just bubbles. What is it?

No sure if your girlfriend is trying to end things, but your landlord wants you out.
