Any suggestions? I could start him off on a rubber hammer maybe. ;o) To be fair I have to admit that although Jeroen is somewhat of a dummy at any form of constructive DIY he is very good at the destructive kind. Last year he spent almost a week getting down all the plaster (stripping the whole lot back to the brikwork where necessary) from all the walls and ceilings in our hallway (with a simple chisel and a klaw hammer). It was a lot of plaster that came off those walls. I believe it took about 700 kg dry weight to replace it all.
