Hi With regards to the sagging ceiling, was it any particular washer you used to screw the ceiling back to the lath. Also I have heard that you can glue the plaster back to the lath if it has come off using PVA or similar bonding agent. Has anyone tried this? Thanks

My wife and I live in an 1798 cape in New England and we have had the same problem, which is called calcimine paint. What we did was soak the ceiling down with a wet sponge and even use ...
