Panoramic makes everything look bent!
I am PVA'ing the floor once the worst of the dust is up and once the levelling stuff is dried (3hrs for hard enough to stand on)Would pva on the floor help?
What is the general opinion for PVAing the plastered walls ?
My plaster suggested doing it wiht 1:5 PVA to water.
However I think it acts as a barrier to stop paint adhering to the plastered walls properly.
I don't think you're meant to for painting it. It's just a widely touted in accuracy.What is the general opinion for PVAing the plastered walls ?

What you want is a mist coat (half paint half water) or a watered down paint. I don't think the ratio makes much difference.
Your plaster also seemed to take a long time to do the job.
He was only here from 10am till 2.45pm each day as his van is being fixed so was commuting to me in his Mrs car and he was having to do the school run.

Depends entirely on the paint! I've used b and q value stuff for most costs in the past barely any water needed as it is so funny anyway!It needs to be 50/50 paint/water minimum else you'll end up with the top coat of paint cracking. The watered down paint acts as a sealent so the new plaster does not soak up the paints moisture. Put the waterdown coat on to thick and it will crack.
