Quick Answer Needed - Reward

[William J. Decker]

Guys;

Need a quick answer and I am drawing a blank.

What is the name of the plaster that protrudes between the lathe in a plaster and lathe wall? Those little puch through parts of the plaster that holds the plaster to wooden lathe.

Brain flatulance today. Sorry.

First one to answer, fast, e-mail me and I will send you a copy of my new (and funny) presentation PowerPoint.

Thanks;

Bruse King was first with an e-mail, but if you other guys want the presentation (and have the ability, through your ISP to recieve large files) just fire me an e-mail and I will send it to you.

It is funny, but also educational. It is called "Structure - A Case Study".

Thanks again.

Three coat plaster over wood or metal lathe is as follows:

Scratch coat
Brown coat
Finish coat.

As a mason, I've actually installed the stuff when performing disaster restoration work on old Richmond, VA row houses. (It ain't fun)

Thanks Will, I look forward to watching the presentation.

Let me know what you think, Bruce. I can always use feed back.

BTW: I, along with Ken Demski and Russ Myers, am writing a new course on structure. Title: Everything I know about structure, I learned in Kindergarten.

Use analogies from kids playing with blocks to teach structure principles like loads, stress, compression, etc.

Have a heck of a section on crack analysis. Working with a PhD in Engineering from Northwestern University. Up to 325 PowerPoint slides.

Once we get it state approved, it will be available to all NACHI Chapters.

Hope this helps.
