Yeah - so we received the quote. We're probably just going to fill the crack and if it starts cracking elsewhere then we'll have to live with it.

It's just a double skim coat over the old plaster, which was exposed when we removed the paper that was covering the ceiling. We've contacted someone else about overboarding so we'll see what they're looking to charge. If we're going to get that done, should we leave the mist coating the rest...
