Drywall and plastering projects
Drywall and plastering are two different methods of forming interior walls of buildings. Until the 1950s, lath and plaster were used to form walls. Lath and plaster is a process that involves spreading wet plaster over wooden strips.
After the 1950s drywall techniques started gaining popularity, and by the 1980s plastering had been almost completely replaced by drywall.
