I remember being a kid and watching a few films where people fall over and put holes in the walls; I was so confused. I didn’t understand how people could put holes in bricks using their arms and legs.
God I fucking hate plaster. Granted, my house uses oldish-fashioned metal lath and plaster, but it’s such a ball ache. I wish it had been built with just drywall so I could use stud finders and shitty drywall anchors. Instead it’s all fuckass toggle bolts and “use this giant magnet to find the stupid screw that attaches the stupid lath to the stupid stud.” Ugh.

thats just drywall. its shit but a lot of cheap builds use it.
Wait… What do you use to cover your (non stone) walls??? Is there some sort of beadboard or shiplap supremacy group I’ve never heard of?
sheetrock with plaster on top
I have a relative that had these, he recently upgraded to drywall so he could easily make modifications.
sheetrock is literally a brand of drywall
