OK, not really falling down, but the plaster is pulling away from the lath. Here's the story. The house is almost 100 years old. It's located in Seattle Wa. We have been in the place for 6 years with very few problems, but in the last few months the walls have developed large cracks in the lath, all at once. And all over the house. The thing that has changed recently is that we had the house painted last fall. I installed vents in the walls so they could breath, but could expansion in the walls be pushing the lath off the interior walls? My wife fears that the foundation is settleing and thats causing the problem. If I call a drywall guy, he will tell me the walls are the problem, if I call a foundation guy he will tell me the foundation is the problem. Advice please?
