Cement Rendering
I did a cement rendering course last weekend (while Amy took the kids to the zoo). It was pretty challenging (blisters on my office hands) but good fun. There was a definite 'nack', to it and even after 8 hours I'm not sure whether I totally cracked it. Here's a picture of my final effort which I was pretty pleased with. It's going to be different proposition doing the house.....

I think it's spelt 'Knack' as in knakered. Anyway well done!
Plaster is much lighter to handle than cement rendering but I still think that good brickwork takes some beating. Bad brickwork is best rendered perhaps,
Yes, I think you're right. Knack as opposed to nack. I was going to call it 'skill' but I think that's something which experts have - mine was definitely 'knack'.
I've only done a small amount of plastering (patching) I think a full wall would be difficult to finish well.
Great! after you've perfected your skills on your house you can come and do ours. Free board if the work is good!
That is a pretty good job for the first time in rendering! I really struggled in mine. thank you for posting!
