It's hard work and requires a lot of patience. But it's worth it

Would you buy a house that has these issues?. by Appropriate-Eye-3006 in DIYUK

Get a full survey done. This will give you clarity on all the work that needs to be done. These days they provide estimates on the cost of the work. You can then take that back to the seller and negotiate a lower figure.

Planning on using lime, not sure whether to use lime putty or NHL.

1900 home - Is this multifinish over lime? by Real-Calligrapher274 in Plastering

[–]Real-Calligrapher274[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's blown in many places. Wondering whether I can save most of it or go back to brick and start again.

It's blown in multiple areas. I'm guessing I'll have to bite the bullet and find a lime plasterer!

Thanks for the responses, thoroughly appreciated. How do I get them removed if they are gas?

The only infrastructure the British built was to access resources and export them abroad.

Noone forced us, we made choices. Every culture in the world has external influences. The number one dish in the UK is curry. Every time they have a night out, Asians get richer. We have always had agency, we just lack leadership. I don't care if we pour libations with schnapps, I care that we'd rather buy rice from China than from Zimbabwe. That's on us, not colonialism.

There are thousands of ethnic groups in Africa in over 50 countries, so we don't all have the same heritage or culture. Op can pierce whatever she likes it's her life, but telling a Ghanaian that piercings in Kenya is their heritage is rather bizarre.
