Photo seen from the dining room the previous owners ripped down the wall opening between the kitchen and dining room. |
This a view from the kitchen into the dining room of the same removed wall. The area was approximately 120 square feet. |

| After framing the space with old 2x4 timbers, I cut and renailed lath to the studs. I also installed a horizontal stud at the top for hanging a heavy picture frame. | The portion of the wall to the left of the repair into the corner was drywall which I ripped down to put up new plaster. |

| This is a view from the kitchen to the back of the wall. Notice the plaster smeared through the lath or "keys." | Another view with the lath carried all the way to the top of the wall. This side will be done later. |

| After the first layer of scratch coat. The plaster on the floor actually cleaned up fairly easily. This is a better shot of the drywall on the left that was ripped down. | This is the final wall after all three layers of plaster. This lithograph hanging from the wall weighs 110 lbs. hence the horizontal stud installed during framing. |
