Is it advisable to take down the old plaster or, as a whole entity,
would you expect 50 year old plaster to be strong enough to hold
plasterboards dotted&dabbed into place? If the latter, should I repair
the old blown plaster first (seen the method in the FAQ list)?


In my last house someone had put up plasterboard a little away from the old
plaster. Used to listen to bits of plaster falling off in the evenings.
Eventually I could stand it no more and ripped it all down and replastered.
