... Last night, they showed how to replace an old cast
iron toilet flange so the toilet won't rock on a newly installed
floor. Not very glamorous or expensive, but lots of tips ...
Actually, the part I saw that was pretty kewl was the plaster wall repair
w/
the adhesive behind the wall to stick it to the lath again and the
plastic-washer screws into the lath to bring the section back into solid
contact. Hadn't seen that before.
Can you describe this in any more detail? This sounds like something I could
use.

I imagine it will be on the TOH website. In essence, they drilled
many small holes in the wall all along the areas of plaster cracking,

....

Thank you. That's good info.


I caught it late enough in the process I don't know the product itself,
but it could be improvised readily enough. Would probably be good to
find the particular adhesive as it was a two-part system--first there
was a wetting agent, then the adhesive; not just a single acrylic-like
caulk.
