An article by James S. Frear argues fall painting avoids spring rushes, improves durability, and raises home value. It details when paint can be applied, sanitary benefits of painted walls in hospitals, heat and moisture considerations, color choices, and practical prep for a quality job.
A column offers guidance on metal lath and plaster to improve fire resistance and reduce wall cracking. It covers obtaining loans using property in another city, diverting underground water leaks, proper heating radiation calculations, and letting a foundation settle over winter before constructing the superstructure.
The text explains contraction cracks in plaster from a material change, often not a problem after the first winter as the house dries. Loose plaster should be removed and re plastered to secure new patches, then finished with plastic paint or paper to hide spots.
