    Was in a house the other day that had a rough (internal) plaster finish on the walls. It reminded me of an old farmhouse or cottage. Anyway, is there a name for this and is it a common task that any plasterer could do?

    I have done a few rooms/areas this way Barney.
    The mix used for the textures was simply various combinations
    of skimcoat and bonding mixed,few test panels to decide on correct texture and a
    certain style of finishing by the plasterer, that you like visually.
    I used a sponge float to finish, worked out really well when painted.

    Thanks g.leather. Could you post a pic of close up and/or a few meters back so I can see how it came out?
    Not to worry if you can't for whatever reason.
