I knocked down my wall for an open plan living room but can I plaster it like a PRO?

Hi all 👋 A few weeks ago, I showed you how we removed a weird and dated internal window and tudor style beam in our hallway/living room/dining room space.

If you haven't watched that, I recommend checking it out here to see what it used to look like:    • It's DESTRUCTION TIME in our auction ...  

But as we're in the middle of waiting for our new hearth to arrive (before we install hardwood flooring and tile the chimney breast), we decided it was time to remove the brick wall where the old
window used to be.

Not only did I have to cut it out, but had to spend HOURS of research learning how to make good with the exposed bricks.

This meant learning everything like dot and dab, fitting galvanised steel thincoat angle beads and how a beginner can plaster to achieve a pro finish. But did it turn out well?

Big shout out to ‪@Onthetrowel‬ Oh The Trowel YouTube channel - I've watched many videos about SBR, repairing plasterboard patches and this video had everything I needed to help me do this job:    • Bricklayer makes Plastering Impossibl...
