i want to redo my bathroom in a 110 yr.old house. The plaster is cracked in the joints etc... so I thought I could just put sheet rock over the walls and ceiling, however, how do I find the studs when I have lath? Also what do I use , screws to put it up or do I need to put strips of wood or something down first to anchor it?


Answer
YES! you can certainly do this. But by all means you will need to find the studs. Old Lathe is very questionable when it comes to strength. I would also strongly suggest screws over nails as the old plaster won't tolerate as much hammering as you will need to do.

And by all means get a stud finder if you don't have one. Back in those days 'on center' had very little meaning as art of lathe really didn't care exactly where the studs where. A close approximation was just fine back then.

Have fun!

Whats the difference between scene and emo?

i dont scene ppl cut themselves but emos do, is that all the difference?


Answer
Today emo is commonly tied to both music and fashion as well as an inspiration toward the emo subculture, and the term "emo" is sometimes stereotyped with tight jeans on males and females alike, long fringe (bangs) brushed to one side of the face or over one or both eyes, dyed black, straight hair, tight t-shirts (usually short-sleeved) which often bear the names of emo bands (or other designer shirts), studded belts, belt buckles, canvas sneakers or skate shoes or other black shoes and thick, black horn-rimmed glasses. This fashion has at times been characterized as a fad. Early on, emo fashion was associated with a clean cut look but as the style spread to younger teenagers, the style has become darker, with long bangs and emphasis on the colour black replacing sweater vest In recent years the popular media have associated emo with a stereotype that includes being emotional, sensitive, shy, introverted, or angst-ridden. It is also associated with depression, self-injury, and suicide.

Scene:
A trend and subculture evolving from skate punk, chav and emo and closely tied in with the new rave and Indie subcultures. In the early 2000s scene fashion was influenced by metal, pop punk and the goth subculture but since the mid-2000s they have gone for a more retro 1980s-inspired indie look. It is becoming increasingly common in the USA, Australia and the UK. Hairstyles vary, though currently the most common seems to be razor cut hair, or flat-ironed straight hair with dyed streaks sometimes called raccoon ('coon) tails and bangs. Fashion mainly consists of skinny jeans, band t-shirts, hoodies, miniskirts, leggings, bullet belts, name brand clothes/handbags, skateboarding apparel (fur-hood parkas, skate brand t-shirts etc), wristbands of various designs, Converse, Vans, & flats seen as typical scene shoes. Typical colors for clothing include black with bright colors. Notable fads include being straight edge and using "text talk" on their myspace and facebook accounts. Many are also vegetarians or vegans and both boys and girls are known to paint their nails (usually black).
