Lath & Plaster curved ceiling edge. Decorative or functional
Discussion
The lastest on my list of things that keep me up at night!
We're redoing the whole of upstairs on our 1930's property. Involving plenty of studwork and lath & plaster removal.
As we have to put a couple of walls back in place into a curved ceiling edge which option do I go for?
A: Cut into the curved bit and fix as it 'should' be.
B: I don't quite understand B. I just thought it was strange to run the laths that way.
C: Goddammit! I forgot to take a photo of option C. It's basically cut the top corner off the studwork and attach a joining piece at the same angle as the curve.. [i'll update later.]
D: If the ceiling curve is just decorative, knock those sections out and run plasterboard up full height and get rid of the curve. If I do that, will I couse complications in the corners?
Heres a couple of other snaps of the mess we're in..
