The Mending of the Cracks

And some paint along the way!

Wednesday, we started our MAJOR construction/renovation project on our great room (living/dining room). In this room, it has the original plaster walls and ceiling. We know for a fact that the ceiling has the wire mesh that keeps the plaster up. However, on the walls and on the ceiling, dry wall is hung behind the plaster, making the walls and ceilings thicker. Of course, over time, the plaster cracks with the settling of the house.

Rob took the time with the major cracks and opened them up. He then started "gooping" the cracks with new plaster to seal them.

Once this is done and ready, we'll be painting the walls and ceiling. We were able to get a chip of wall paint from when the window guys were here to be able to match the coloring. Can't wait until we can paint. I know it will be hard work but will look great when done.

Love to all,
Cathy
