I have an old stone cottage on our block. Suspect the cottage to be 120 years old. Hasn't been lived in since the 60's but still has a solid roof and walls are solid. Looking at putting some life back into the building.
Any way, question is - the walls are lime plastered. They've been exposed to elements as there's no windows/ doors on the building. They were painted (not sure whether it's oil based paint or not). Would I be better have the walls re-plastered with lime plaster or erect a stud wall 50mm away from the walls and plasterboard?
Do the walls need sanding down first to remove the layer of paint before lime plaster (over the small cracks and areas that are blown)?
