Day one ,nice door to walk through on your first day of work on a new job. Not only do I get to restore history but this Church was built with the help of my ancestors the Avery's.

Not the easiest hallway but it's done.... Primed & two coats of paint on the ceiling. We figured we might as well paint the ceiling while we got the scaffold in there. That will help the painters later on.

I've done just about everything that has anything to do with plaster. Started pushing a broom on my dad's job sites when I was eight. Went to college. Had a good mechanical engineering office job at Pratt & Whitney, hated it , went back to plastering. And these are the days that are my favorite. When I get to recreate crown moldings or repair them and save history.

Look what fell out of the 1800's Victorian ceiling. An antique lace puller for tightening up your spats. Whatever spats are...🤣
I'm assuming the corsets and those tall boots they wore. It's been in that ceiling for a long time!

Customer had a water leak in the bathroom above their grand entrance way in their beautiful Victorian house in Westerly, Rhode Island. I showed up the day after a
" fire and water cleanup company" , I won't mention who, came here the day before and they were going to take all of this out. The beautiful 5-ft plaster flower medallion on the ceiling. The beautiful crown moldings, all the plaster everything they were going to rip it all out. Throw it in the dumpster. I said get these people out of here. I brought in PC restoration. They did a selective demo. Dried it out with dehumidifiers and fans. And now I'm going to put it all back together like it never happened. Those large" fire and water restoration" companies should be shut down. A house about four houses down the street. I didn't get there in time. They removed the ceilings. The crown moldings, the doors, the trim, the staircase everything because there was a leak. They just want to make work for their friends or whatever they're doing. And they're destroying the history of the house while they're doing it...😡

The Homeowner wants this 1960's brick fireplace to go away in his 1800's home. It's the first thing you see when you come through the front door. Totally the wrong fireplace for this historic home. Base coat layer is on.
Smooth white Venetian plaster to go on later when it's dry.

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!
