drywalling over old drywall and plaster lathe

becphil
16 years ago

We have a very old house that we are renovating. The walls have old drywall that is breaking down in places. Also, there are walls that still have plaster lathe boards on them.

We do not want to tear it away to the outside framing and walls. Is it possible to put up strapping and drywall overtop of existing walls? Is this an adequate way to repair?

Anyone with helpful advice, please advise.

thanks
