There are several different kinds of plastering. ‘Dot and dab’ refers to a base layer of plasterboard which is attached to a wall using ‘dabs’ of adhesive. ‘Floating’ is a technique where a backing or undercoat plaster is applied to walls. ‘Skimming’ or ‘reskimming’ refers to the very thin final decorative layer of plaster.
Lauder
The Royal Burgh of Lauder is a town in the Scottish Borders in the historic county of Berwickshire. On the Southern Upland Way, the burgh lies 27 miles south east from Edinburgh, on the western edge of the Lammermuir Hills. The current population of the town is around 1500, although it is dramatically growing as over 100 brand-new homes are being built on the southern boundary. This means that, at the beginning of the 21st century, the population is approaching what it was at the beginning of the 20th century previous to the duration of depopulation over the last 100 years. Lauder is today firmly affected by its distance to Edinburgh as it is now thought to be near enough for employees to commute into the capital for work. The bus service to Edinburgh is trusted though infrequent. Well known buildings in the town today feature the Tolbooth or Town Hall, which precedes 1598 when records display it being burnt by a celebration of Homes and Cranstouns led by Lord Home, in a feud in between them and the Lauder family who were at the time sitting on the bench as hereditary baillies. On 18 July 1793, amid a severe and long-lasting thunderstorm, a 'ball of fire struck the steeple above the Tollbooth, and did considerable damage'. Current dispute in Lauder is the town's development, whether it is needed or beneficial, the location of a brand-new primary school and how quickly one will be established, and the location and amount of wind farms on the surrounding hills. Also on the agenda is the dispute surrounding the development of a new health centre in the burgh. For all your home developments, be sure to identify reputable specialists in Lauder to make certain of quality.
