Hello!
I'm working on fixing an interior wall that had water damage. I've removed all the rotten parts and replaced them with new studs. I will close the hole in the wall with raw boards (what you see on the right in the picture). But then the question is how to make it match the rest of the interior wall nicely – which is what you see on the left. It's plastered today.
What do you think? The options so far are to put up a drywall and then try to plaster so that the transition between plaster and drywall looks nice, or I try to plaster everything without drywall. The question is what to use as reinforcement in that case? As you can see, this is an old house where reed and wire have been used, but I think there might be something smarter these days?
A piece of mesh wire that is attached with staples to the wood and then pulled out slightly so there is a gap, allowing plaster to come slightly inside the mesh and adhere well. However, it is likely that there will be a crack between the new and old plaster that can't be removed and may reappear periodically. If the plaster becomes uneven, a round of spackling will be needed.
