Hey all,
I'm just wondering if anyone out there is a plasterer or has a mate whom is one that can repair my ceiling????
As a fellow brewer I am sure you understand how one likes to sort small challenges without forking out a lot of $$$, well my new telephone cable is about to be one expensive such challenge. I put a foot wrong (tripping on a bloody earth wire) and cracked the ceiling (original early 1900's) which has subsequently resulted in a section falling down (approx 50cm x 50cm).
Anyway, the short of it is I need it fixed - ASAP - as the Mrs is spewing about the look, dust & fact the a piece fell out tonight was while she was sleeping!!!
It will need a new piece cut in, fixed and plastered. I can sand and paint. Am happy to pay cash, but it must be a good, professional grade job as we are only renting. Being a student I was hoping to save some money over the commercial guys that view it as a small job and charge accordingly...
FYI I have had one quote that was "up to $200 depending on how long it takes".
If anyone can help or point me in the right direction I'll be most grateful!
Cheers,
TKF
PS : I can supply photos tomorrow if required...
