I have the wire mesh over wood on the ceilings; not so much on the walls. I
think one wall actually has wood lath. Some walls have a type of board with
a shiny metallic covering (vapor barrier?) as the base. This was all done
at original construction (~1959) so I think they were experimenting with
different materials. I have a collection of core samples from the various
holes I've made over the years.

It also chews up hole saws. I get maybe one or two holes per saw with
typical bi-metal blades...
