Yeh, can't recall the diluted ratio - but - used a brush to apply to the wall, and then painted the first coat straight after. Not sure if Permabond can go through a spray gun.

Thanks man, yeah we're getting there. Very few things left:
- Screed floors
- Lay vinyl plank flooring
- Paint
- Some odds/ends that I'll do myself

Then we are done with this nightmare

The guys are so much more professional than the last guy my builder organised. The last guy came with a plaster trowel, nothing else.

These guys have drill attachment, multiple buckets, spiked roller, big floor spreader... The few sqm they've done so far looks so good.

you are mental, then i would rather laminate or tile it and hell if you wanted to change it 4 times in the next ten years you would still break even if not be winning
 
Probably a wishful thinking question...

My playroom is an extension onto the house, and doesn't have ceiling access.
There is an unused light switch box (conduit but no wiring) which I want to use to control an outside light.
How would I do this without cutting a hole into my ceiling?

Trunking or chasing from another power point are likely your only other alternatives apart from cutting a manhole in the ceiling.
