I love old farm houses that sit out in rural areas. I would like to get one, but don't know if I can afford to restore it
-
screws would be a dumb ass idea for plaster. Sounds like he is a first timer or someone who doesn't do the work themself.

If it was a 10 year old house I would worry, beings it is a 167 yo house, I wouldnt worry about it .

That's actually true. I remember that kind of thing.. thanks.

Be careful if you do anything with the bathroom walls. It was common practice back in the day to dispose of used razorblades through a slit in the back of the medicine cabinet. We found enough rusty antique razorblades in the bathroom wall at mom & dad's to fill a 5-gallon bucket.

Yea, I've found a few cool old things already... Lots of hiding places in an old house like this.. I'm lovin' it.

I'm kinda curious.. doesn't cracks in the ceiling mean something's bad above it?? or is that where one side of the house was falling down? I remember you jacked it up and reinforced the foundation. Just curious. :)

Yes, the house was sagging tremendously when I bought it The roof line stayed straight, but the floors were going every which way. I spent a good bit of the first year jacking her up and putting new beams under her.

For repairing plaster I highly recommend PolyFilla. It has to be mixed with water and hardens up very solid. You can't use too much because it is next to impossible to sand. I usually use drywall compound to finish with a smooth coat.

I've got a boat load of plaster mix, but I find that some calking works pretty good in the cracks and things.. I did my living room up, used some of both, and a few patch panels on a flat ceiling. Not smoothe, but I'm not shooting for smoothe. I like it old lookin'. Thanks for the comment.
