Is it a must to use pop?

The asbestos is saggy and dangerous. POP or even PVC ceiling will be more decent

I dont see anything for mold in you list for supplies. I hope they treated those walls and ceiling first. Anyway I know your excited. I hope you include nice ceiling fan, nice furniture and shades/blinds as well. I'm proud of you

.the asbestos had already been nailed to the roof frame..the thyrod are just to cover up the joints of asbestos meeting,and give it a better closing up...

.some people make use of asbestos for their ceilings,then omit tyrod and then screed all the surface,so that it will seem like a casted pop.

.the cons there is that you can only get a flat board ceiling without those pop designs or paparazzi..

pocohantas:


They won't.

Wow Thanks, never knew about this. This is so cost effective.

I've been wanting to renovate my flat at the village, I'd keep the ceiling and use this method to save me a lot of money.

You mean 5000, that's what I bought mine

On behalf of those following the thread silently,
Op we say wehdone Sir!

You don't necessarily have to do pop. Remove the 2x2, and screed the entire ceiling. Then get wall cornice for the sides. To go further, get 4-10pcs of 3watts led panel lights, and have your electrician cut the ceiling to install them. Very cheap.

Can you give us a picture as an example of what you are talking about here?
What is wall cornice?
The 2by2 you are referring to, are is it those wood above the ceiling boards?

pocohantas:


Since you already have POP cement and paint...

I will advise you take out the tyrods of your ceiling. That is those borders of the slate. It is something you can remove yourself.

Once it is out, your ceiling would be a flat surface with just the wooden edges exposed. Proceed to fill up the exposed wood with the POP cement. Smoothen properly, allow to dry and paint with white emulsion paint.

If you want, you can add get an electrician to add POP lights or just leave it bare

Screeding your walls and painting it won't give you the desired look if you ignore that ceiling and if you decide to fix the ceiling later, the process would ruin the walls.

---

POP on slate is ideal for people on a budget or minimalists. Most POP guys would refuse to do it because they rather you give them 200k.

Is this DIY?

Someone that can not setup gotv herself is dishing DIY ... aunti mmiesoma continue


people just lift without giving credit

One thing you must come to terms with is not just everyone can jump on DIY

You don't have to be an expert or professional BUT your personality must reek "Handy" ... to remove the tryod requires skills

Too much money .The problem is how to spend it.
Ride on bro

Zubby2005:
The screeding was done yesterday but shining of the screed will be today;
The cost for the screeding materials are;
POP paint: 3,100×2 = 6,200
POP cement = 7,200
Top bond 2kg = 5000
Sampaper= 200
Labour w/ painting= 20,000
Miscellaneous = 1,800
Total= 20,200
W/ Labour = 40,200
So it cost 40,200 only for painting alone

I'll attach photos of the screeding job later today

It's sand paper and of what use is this thread?

So far so good, the POP ceiling is on construction as the ceiling is being torn down
So I've paid them for the painting job;
I also bought extra items and I'll add it to my cost

So far so good, I bought more materials for the POP ceiling which are:
POP cement (half) = 3,600
POP paint = 3100
Extra labour = 13,000
Miscellaneous(beer) = 400
Total= 20,200
Total w/ others= 70,600 + 20,200 = 90,800

Zubby2005:
