How-To
Drywall-Over-Plaster Ceiling Repair
Repair badly cracked plaster ceilings by covering them with a layer of 1⁄2-in. drywall.
I often repair badly cracked plaster ceilings by covering them with a layer of 1⁄2-in. drywall. Fastening the drywall to 3⁄4-in.-thick furring strips enables wiring and ceiling boxes for light fixtures to be mounted beneath the plaster. In this situation, the wiring is close to the surface of the drywall, so I use conduit or armored cable, rather than Romex.

Quite a long and precise process you follow here. Knowing exactly what services for renovation you want, is very important. Custom decks and drywall are also used for renovating a house look like a magazine home.

THE USE OF ARMORED CABLE IS PROHIBITED IN SUCH A SITUATION. BETTER TO UTILIZE METAL PANCAKE BOXES AND POP THE CABLES UP ABOVE THE EXISTING PLASTER CEILING, ENTER THE BOXES THROUGH THE BACK KNOCK-OUTS PROVIDED. THIS WOULD FAIL ANY UL INSPECTION.
