A tip

[Parrot of doom]

When you notice a bit of plaster falling off the wall, and decide to pull it out to investigate.........DONT!
















At least, not unless you want your entire house covered in 95-year old plaster dust and grime....

Those plaster lathes remind me of an old film where they found dead bodies behind the walls

Classic case of commencing work without conducting a proper risk assesment.

Ah, same here too - 1907 house and plaster which hasnt been renewed since. Did the same myself one, cost me £1200 in labour to get patched up again - learnt my lesson there then....

Don't tell me this - I'm getting busy with a hammer later today. I think I might use the gentle tap-tap-taperoo method instead of putting the Ace of Spades on and screaming 'Banzai!!'
