Thanks for the welcome, just bought first home (1920s semi) needs a bit of TLC so thought I'd brush up on the finer details working for me for first time!

Hope pics loaded ,plaster dropped away from lath including a section of moulding,planning to cut section of moulding out to be re-set once 3x4 ft section of lath and plaster removed,replaced with board etc,beef up edges with drywall adhesive/scrim etc pre scrim, any other takes on this approach?
