/diy/ - Do It Yourself

So in the market for a house at the moment.

These little wooden strips over the plasterboard/drywall I assume are to cover up the seams?

A lot of the houses in the areas we're looking were built at a time where this was common.

Is it as simple as prying them off and plastering over the seams or would the whole wall need to be redone?

Hey guys...

In the market for a house at the moment.

A lot of houses in the area we are looking are of the age that they have this stupid shit on the walls.

I'm assuming it's to cover the seams between the plasterboard/drywall?

Can it be pried off and then just plastered over and repainted or is it a case of having to redo the entire wall with fresh plasterboard?
