I am restoring a victrian cottage and have stripped the walls bare of plaster and am back to bricks, the brickwork is still pretty damp (9" walls). The external bricks are being replaced but I dont really want to mess around internally as well with bricks.
Do I wait for the bricks to dry out, if so how long could that take?
Or should I batten and board it, so to get the plaster off the walls or is there another way to tackle this by way of internal rendering then skim on top of that?
I don't want the damp returning so only want to do it once!
ANy advice would be appreciated
