Local author self publishes two books

 “DIY” is a very popular pastime & hobby, as we all know. Many of us do like to have a go ourselves, whether it’s because of the cost of saving money, or even being reassured that you can do it properly yourself. But unfortunately, some “DIY” subjects are barely covered enough, or aren’t even yet written at all.

 Dale Ovenstone, 45, from Cardiff, has been working in his chosen subject after successfully teaching himself the art of texturing and coving well over twenty years ago, and has even trained interested individuals on a one to one basis, and now has decided to put together his amazing new books titled “Texture Revival” & “Step down coved ceiling” which are only available for instant download, online at http://www.lulu.com/texturerevival & http://www.lookreadlearn.com

 But unlike any other books on texturing & coving, he has covered some very important aspects that aren’t shown anywhere else. Such as “The correct interior surface preparation” through his own experience, many homeowners have problems concerning the correct preparation prior to texturing or even re-decorating and “Texture Revival” certainly takes this important fact into consideration, as we take a look at dealing with the most common surfaces in the home. Another subject contained within “Texture Revival” is “how to repair an already textured area and match or blend the pattern back in” without the fuss or expense of redoing the whole ceiling.

 Dale found himself repairing many textured ceilings throughout his career, and this is also broken down into explanatory photographic details for the enthusiast to follow and easily achieve themselves. “Step down coved ceiling” gives you all the information on dealing with “Gyproc coving”, “fixing up a plaster ornamental ceiling rose” and also gives you amazing project ideas for your ceilings. All together “Texture Revival” & “Step down coved ceiling” are well set out and detailed, step by step photographic workbooks aimed for the novice & professional alike and gives you the information and the confidence to have a go. Showing, in great detail, every aspect of texturing and coving, plus some really amazingly fantastic artistic tecniques, from the very start of your task to the final completion.
