I've been having some problems with the walls in our house. The walls are what I believe is known as 'Lath and Plaster'. If that is not enough of a description, it's a vertical framework of wood with strips of lath wood run across at 90 degrees with approx half inch gap between each lath.
Cement has then been applied and then a finish coat over that.
I am having problems fixing things to the walls. unless I happen to screw into a vertical part of frame.
For plaster board there are a number of fixing devices. but
With the lath and plaster once i get through the initial render there's a gap of approx 2 inches before you get to brick.
Any ideas would be gratefully accepted.
