Talk:Lath and plaster

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

I don't know if anyone will ever read this. Here in new orleans, and since the flood, I've found that the mixture of materials in our old plaster walls dissolve, where the newer drywall patches applied to it later are rotten and falling from the walls. So we're considering (and by we I mean my paint and construction company), re-plastering the walls to regain that resilience. As this is somewhat of an aside, I don't know if it belongs in the main article.

I think this article is usful -- it provides basic information for those looking to purchase a older home where the lath and plaster are still used on teh interior walls...
