Short term project
Notes for the short term project:
T0 give the flat the appearance of being good to live in, this is something I can do like home improvements both short & long term.
Decorating prioritising .
Note: turn off all power and electricity first before removing the fire alarm if using a steamer paint stripper. These re good and I stripped my room in a few hour’s using a stripping scraper, cleaning up a I went with a bin & broom, it was that quick also they are cheap at £30.00 or more from a DIY shop.
Masking tape:
Firstly use masking tap on everything & lay it down first. Then sand down everything. And use filler on everything. I can use a large sand paper that is fat or a thin one.
Sand paper:
Smooth over sanding with paper about 150 grade for the walls’ & 60 grade for the paint.
Filler:
There are a few time of filler I had used. From a time for interior I did not need a lot maybe a few tube’s, then another filler is a tin liquid like soft filler for hair line cracks which go deep and separate the plaster, It is so soft I can paint and scrape it on with a brush/ filling knife.
The next one is for cracks’ which have already made a how & need the hole filling as well with any cracking line’s too. Finally use caulk and a squeezing gun for the gap’s in wall’s door’s, skirting board and window’s like a window putty.
Primer/Emulsion diluted 2/10 litres.
*Prepare the walls’ with 2 coats of primer/Emulsion- light grey watered down 10 litres with 2 litres of water. Sand it down with sanding paper, 60 grade for the paint. Use a paint mixer.
Always wash & clean as you go because it will leave a big mess afterward’s.
Drilling.
Random drilling for hanging things but a power detector £15.00. And use it for power. Wire and pipe detecting of behind wall’s and or think if there is a pipe behind where I am drilling. Also mark on the drill how far I are going to go, check where your drilling also so that I don’t go through anything. & if I am using socket’s then drill a whole larger than the socket as .
