The owner comes home and calls me the lath master....😆
I said take a good look, because I'm not doing this again!
I patch Woodlath holes all the time. I've been patching it for over 45 years, but I very rarely have to install wood lath ....😳
It must have taken forever to do an entire house. And I'm using a pneumatic staple gun with inch long galvanized Staples. Imagine hand nailing an entire Victorian house. Three stories, all this woodlath....
It takes forever!

The Homeowner insisted on plaster over lath.

This week's project:

Faux Woodlath Finish

Plastering a Struc-to-lite and sand plaster mixture over imperial blue board. And making it look like a
150 year old woodlath plaster. Homeowner wanted to do wood lath and I could do it. Insurance wouldn't pay. My next job after this one is a Chubb insurance job and they are paying to have me do real authentic three-coat plastering over wood lath on a keeping room. On this one the homeowners will have to settle for imitation wood lath.

Ran into an old buddy, Rod Ackley, who was walking through mystic yesterday.
Suggested we go for a ride. So I decided not to do any plastering today. We hit Patchogue State Forest today and Arcadia State Forest. 6 and 1/2 hours of riding through the woods on dirt roads. We never took the same road twice!
It's like 30,000 acres or something like that. A beautiful place to ride... campsites, swimming holes, fishing spots, vistas, it's beautiful out there. Can't believe I've had my motorcycle for 7 years and haven't been back out there in almost 6 years.

A room I restored and walls that I painted a long time ago. I forget what it was, but there's something very significant about that raised panel wall. Something like it's the oldest ,tallest, raised panel wall in connecticut.
