Plaster ceiling replaced in
Arlington, Virginia
117 year old stairway ceiling about to fall in and hit somebody on the head.
Plastic dust and splatter shield in the stairway. I have to admit,
replacing ceilings makes a huge mess.
Metal lath is screwed over the old wood lath.
Lime is mixed outside in a garbage can.
We set up two mortar boards on the front porch and made two gauges at a time.
Molding plaster is sifted into a lime ring.
Molding plaster and lime sets fast allowing for same day completion.
