See, Erik starts with 'start sanding to see what chunks fall off and you'll need to replace.' I'll have to go look at TOH, masonry bits, what? But then, our walls aren't true lath and plaster, from my understanding. There's plaster, and there's lath, but I'm told they aren't the traditional p&l.

Dang, the announcers were just saying how this game didn't have offense to watch. Oops.

Oh, I was thinking the product they mention, Big Wally's Plaster Magic, might be the thing you need, more than the whole how-to. But I don't have any plaster repair experience, just drywall.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Yeah, maybe. I'll see what the hardware store people think tomorrow.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.
All this ice cream talk forced me to stop on the way home and buy Americone Dream.

I believe that is the recommended treatment for Ice Cream Deficiency.

Shit's all sorts of different now.
Does gelato count? Cause all I have is sea salt caramel gelato.

My guess is that the stuff that's coming off is a skim coat and the person who did it either used the wrong stuff or didn't properly prep the wall.

Or it's just been 100 years? I'm sure it's been at least 60. So if I pull off what comes easily, and do a new skim coat, I should be OK, right? And that seems sufficiently diy-ish?

Worst that can happen is that it comes off again. Mine is water damage, bubbling, not just cracks, so I think I'll have to learn to plaster properly.
