hey guys.
got a question, not sure it can be answered.
i've got this wall in my bathroom with a window on it.
the wall is plaster from 4 foot above the floor to the ceiling.
i replaced the bottom half of the floor with wainscoting.
i wish to paint the top half, but the plaster is cracked, and it's loose in some spots.
i would just put 3/8 sheetrock over all of the plaster, but it would push the top of this wall out that much, which would make me lose the depth of the existing winder molding. i would like to keep the existing depth of the windowing casing if i could.
1/4" sheetrock might do the trick, but there aren't many studs behind the plaster. it would have to be screwed/glued to the plaster...
any suggestions for fixing the plaster without coming out too much?
thanks for any help anyone can offer.
