regopit Posted February 26, 2014 Report Share Posted February 26, 2014 Two weeks is doable with the right crew. Looking at the pictures is that horsehair plaster. I hate tearing that stuff out and blending it back in. From what I can see you guys are on a roll good luck and lets hope the owner does not come up with any change orders.

Never seen that before but it is cement plaster, blending it is not so bad I've done it so much all the old houses around Beverly hills and Hollywood area are like that, and i do feel change orders coming. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RedSionnach Posted February 27, 2014 Report Share Posted February 27, 2014 Horse hair plaster is a lime based plaster with animal hair, usually horse, as a binder, gypsum plaster usually has something like perlite. I helped tear out horse hair that was so shaggy it was like a muddy bearskin rug. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
