Plaster Repair Over Drywall

Project: Craftsman Bungalow, Episode 2, Part 2



The electricians are snaking new wiring into the kitchen, and the plumber is roughing in for the addition of a real 'water closet'.

Mike Casas is making quick work of the plaster on the new cathedral ceiling, where new drywall must be married to the old lath and plaster.

Out on the front porch, the contractor removes an existing column without damaging it, or the overhang it supports.
