This was a big challenge, due to the size of room, the sloping ceiling and more importantly, the fact that neither of us are plasters.
We learned a few lessons from the bathroom, washing the walls down before we plastered to stop it from bubbling up, and also make sure you use the french 2000 plaster, as it is best fro skimming.
I also made sure to leave the last section I did each day for 20 minutes or so before I went back and polished it.
This cross beam was a nightmare, as you couldn't get the float behind them to spread the plaster evenly, so I had to improvise with jointing knives.
It took an bit of sanding down, to get a good finish, but not as much as the bathroom had. It took almost as long to get all of the dropped plaster and dust off of the beams, the floor and me.
I also managed to fill in round the window, covering all of the mortar and getting a decent finish, for an amateur.
