One of the more miserable and unrewarding jobs I've done lately. Reapplying the lathe. Some pieces and patches and entire areas had to be removed to make way for the electrical and plumbing. The photo shows an area of removed lathe so small that it didn't even need reapplying, but I forgot to take a photo today so I went back into the archive. Before sheetrock can be applied you need a uniform flat surface and so I did it. A dirty, nasty, smelly job. The job is tough because after you've taken out the old nails from the salvaged lathe, you've pulled the nails from the studs or joists, you measure and cut the salvaged lathe to size, you've nailed it up, you've been showered by mouse feces, plaster dust and 200 years accumulation of dirt when you're all done it looks just exactly the same as when you started or worse. But that's all apart of the job. Tomorrow I will choose something more fun. The yin and yang of old house restoration.
