When a a-ack appears at the joint between the wall and the ceiling lt is probably due tn shrinkage of the-wooden structure or settlement. It might have been prevented by applying mr-pa of metal lath about B to 12 inches wide bcut down the centre and applied to the angle where wall and ceiling meet.

This gives a continuous bond at lhis joint, with 4 in l inches o! lie metal laiih on each surfaced
