the whole house needs attention, Me and my youngest daughter with her Three Boys, live together in a Three bedroom one lounge and one toilet / bathroom, yes we are renting, through housing department, yes the rent is convenient as we pay a minimum of a quarter of our income, just need a better laid out house design with the toilet being a separate room with an extra toilet thrown in, in the laundry area, yes we are blessed to have a roof over our heads, we live in NSW, Australia.

HI, what would be better - vinyl tiles or the hybrid tiles (floor) - i'm worried about heels and scuffing on the vinyl ? any experts please ?!

Plaster shrinks as it dries , but it's more complex than that -- plaster is a mix of cement and lime and other materials , often fine sand etc , so it soaks up water when its mixed , but even the mix ( the recipe ) will alter , and a good plasterer can make different mixes to suit . Even the thickness affects it -- the thicker you trowel on the plaster , the more prone to shrinkage it is . I agree with dreamer -- get the tradie back , but I suspect the plasterer is the problem , so it depends if that is the same person as the drywall fixer ( it often isn't ) . Just don't put up with getting a run around .
