Hi, We have a villa in Spain and are enjoying the sun here (sorry!!!). I´m asking advice in the plastering section as my hsuband has started to work on the underbuild (we are on a steep slope) to make a bedroom and bathroom for our son. We are retired so don´t have spare cash for the job hence asking for advice. My hsuband has donw quite a lot of DIY especially completely remodelling a Georgian cottage in the UK. We have an extra problem here in that the main room is a semi-circle. Maybe we should just let our son have a rustic concrete block wall painted just like I had when working in MOD H blocks!!! Cheers, Anne

Hi Anne,

Welcome to UHM

I know a few people that have bought abroad and one of those is in Spain. I'm not too familiar with the construction techniques over there and I have just seen your thread in the plastering section. I'm hoping that one of the plastering guys can answer it as I have never done a curved wall before.

We're flying into Alicante, about 30 mins away from there. Algorfa and Murcia ring a bell.
