First off i got my PPE, this was: gloves, goggles and my boots (steel-topcapped). I then got all my equiment i needed, this was: White gloss, magnolia paint, paintbrushes, water, kettles, rollers, rollers trays and a dust sheet.
To start off with I done all my undercoats (as explain in a older post), and then decanted the paint into kettles.
For the sado, skirting, architrav and door frame, i used a gloss based white paint to give a nice finish. I gave this 3 layers as to give the perfect white gloss finish. I done all this with a small paintbursh so i didnt get any on thw walls.
For the walls, i used a emulsion magnolia paint, i painted around the edges first with a paintbursh, and then filled the middle in with a roller to save time. I gave this also 3 coats.

tileing
To start off, first i got all my PPE, this consited of: boots (steel toe-capped), gloves and goggles.
After I theng ot all my equiment i needed, a batton, tiles, grout, a group speader, a tile cutter, tile spacers,screws, a scre driver, tile adhesive,a tape measure,a float and a damp cloth.
Next i worked out the distance of the tiles would be after being spaced and grouted and i drew lines on the batton, i then fixed the batton which was the lenght of my wall to half was up my wall.
Next i got my tile adhesive and started speading it accord my wall, in lines with the battons useing a speader and then put the tiles on and put tile spacers inbetween each tile.
after doing the top half f the wall, i then took the batton off and done the bottom half, working my way up.
In some places not whole tiles would fit so i had to cut then to size.
After finish tiling my whole wall, i then grouted it using grout and spreading it using a float. i wiped off any excess grout with a damp cloth.

Putting up a shelf and coat hook
To start off, first i got all my PPE, this consited of: boots (steel toe-capped), gloves and goggles.
After I theng ot all my equiment i needed: a spirit level, a pencil, a tape measure, a panel saw, a screwdriver, a dustpan and brush, a coat hook, a shelf, x2 wall brackets. 8 split screws.
after i got all the things i needed, i measured out the middle of the wall with the tape for both the shelf, and just under the coat hook. I need put the splitter screws in at the correct places.
I then screwed the brackets to the shelf, and the hooks onto the wood for the coat hook.
Next i put the shelf attached to the brackets onto the wall, screwing the screws into the screw splits, this makes the shelf alot strong so it can hold more weight, i then done the same for the coat hook.

Platering
To start off, first i got all my PPE, this consited of: boots (steel toe-capped), gloves and goggles.
After I theng ot all my equiment i needed. This was x2 buckets, a bag of multi finish plaster (25kg), a hawk, a bucket trowel, a float, a plastering trowel, water, a cordess-drill, a mixing attatchement for the drill and a mixing stick.
First off i mixed the plaster, to do this i put water in the two buckets, and added plaster to on of them, whilst adding the plaster i mixed it at the same time. the other bucket filled with water was just to add water if needed. I kept added plater untill the mix was ready and continuarly mixed.
One the plaster was finished and mixed, i poured the plaster out onto a table and then loaded some onto my hawk using my plaster trowel. I then unloaded the plaster from the hawk using the plaster trowel and then loaded it onto the wall, starting from the bottom working my way to the top.
I done this untill i coverd my whole bay in a thick layer of plaster, but made sure there was no lumps and the plaster was relativly smooth. I used a wet paintbrush to smooth the corners.
After that first layer od plaster had set, i then added another thinner layer, applying int he same way as before but made sure this layer way much smoother and then again i smoothed the corners with a paintbrush.
After i washed all my tools so they were as good as new.
