As my family grows and my disposable income dissappears it is becoming ever more apparent that we will need to make use of the somewhat decrepit large stone shed in our garden. The first thing that i will need to do is plaster/make nice (technical term) the inside of the shed walls. This will need to be done by myself as we do not have the money to pay for a professional to do it. I have never done anything like this before - certainly not on this scale. I've probably got about 150-200 square feet of wall space to cover and I was wondering how to go about doing this.
Can i hire a spray plastering tool to make the job manageable? (i've seen something called a tyrolean roughcast applicator for hire - can this be used? If so can it be smoothed after application?)
What about damproofing? I'm only thinking of doings the walls as the roof is corrugated iron - will they need treatment beforehand?
Am I mad for even considering this?
Any advice greatfully recieved - whether it helps me to get the job done or dissuades me from entering into a world of pain.
Thanks,
