Lath & Plaster - to stay or not to stay????

06/25/2004 01:36 PM jessfess

That is the question. I have a 1920 Craftsman that I am moving onto a new lot. The plaster has cracked severley in some places. Some people say to remove it all and just drywall everything. However, this house has a ton of original wood molding and paneling, and I do not want to disturb it. We are in the San Diego area, so the insulating factor is neglible. How easy is it to replace some lath if needed and patch the plaster? I also have to re-wire the entire house, so we will be digging into just about every wall and ceiling. I'm not sure what to do......help?!?!?!?!?
