Anyone done it?
My current render is falling off. It is a large pebble render, looks like it was just slapped on. We have a wooden triangle on the roof above the front bedroom window that has the bottom board protruding out, looks like water got in and loosened the brick work behind and the water has got behind the render.
Anyway. I have watched videos on rendering and I have done a bit of plastering before, skimming a room or two so I know the technique. I know to do a scratch coat, make wavy lines in it, apply top coat, smooth off, sponge off, beading etc.
Its only the front of the house that is rendered. have a big bay window, so thats takes up space. I am tempted to try it my self.
Have you done it and how did it go?
