I am in the process of brainstorming remodel plans.
Here's the situation : This house I will work on has old wiring, few outlets, and paneling over lath and plaster walls (an assumption). The paneling is likely put up with nails, not certain yet. I want to paint walls certain colors, and paneling is going to prevent that as far as I know. I also need to install new / more outlets so I don't know about leaving it up for that purpose either.
I would like to put some outlets in exterior walls, and I think they have a form of insulation possibly blown in. Would it be okay to leave the lath up to hold it in and put drywall over the lath with a bit longer screws? :001_unsure:
