[QUOTE="Martyn Leeds, post: 718433, member: 8683"] I think I'd heard of straw walls but I'd never actually seen them until last week. Plumber left me with this nice wall to tile. Told him its not really in a good state to tile, he was a little surprised, it'll be alright, I said yeah, apart from the damp ply and the straw that's falling to bits. The straw wall is about 2 inch thick approx, with a backing plaster & a skim finish. I'm assuming there must be some kind of timber frame underneath? My guess was to remove the straw, see what's there and hopefully re-board the wall ?? Trouble is his 'Builder' friend has said that there won't be no stud frame and the only way is to d&d new plasterboard over it (over the existing damp straw, the existing skim, then stick new tiles on!!) Anyone had these walls before and know how easy they are to remove/sort?? [ATTACH]55274.vB[/ATTACH] [ATTACH]55275.vB[/ATTACH][ATTACH]55276.vB[/ATTACH] [/QUOTE]
