Ceiling sealing

The decorators came yesterday to repaint our bathroom - a quick one-day job. BUT ...

... the old paint on the ceiling started to stick to the paint-roller. Turns out that decades before we moved in the extension builder (or whoever) didn't bother to size the plasterboard before painting it! Our man said he often comes across this problem in new-builds thanks to developers' cost-cutting!

So yesterday our man scraped off all the loose paint he could and PVA'd the whole ceiling. Today he came back and added a second coat of PVA , but with grit in it (it's more technical than that really), ready for plastering tomorrow or Monday and, finally, painting when the plaster is dry.

Today's result, then, is this rather lovely cloudy sky effect. Tempted to leave it at that ...
