"Very good. Come on in", I replied, before starting to reflect on what he had just said. So, why would an English plasterer talk American, and do a dance routine and electronic dance mix before starting renovation works?
On further reflection... when he said "give your walls a skim", did he mean to cover the walls with a light covering of plaster, or was he intending some sort of dance shuffle across the walls?
Skim and dub = plasterboard pinned to the walls, as a base for plaster.
Plaster skim = plaster, but just a thin skin of it, on walls and ceilings...
