I have an almost 90 year old house and am trying to replace an old
vanity with a small american standard (colony) pedastal sink.
Mounting the sink to a board spanned between two studs is not an
option because 1) there are no studs (only thin strips of wood (lath)
and ~1/2" of plaster, and 2) tearing out the wall would make a HUGE
mess.

What is the lath nailed to, if not studs?

Any recommendations. On a separate thread one person suggested
caulking the back of the sink to the wall, and essentially allowing it
to rest on the pedastal. This sounds sketchy but might have to do.

Thanks!
