Our house is in desperate need of re-stumping. We have lather (sp?) plaster that is cracking and we need to get the stumps done before we can fix the walls. Has anyone had their house re-stumped before? What should we ask about and look out for? I have heard that the lather plaster is terrible, has anyone had experiences (good or bad) with this when re-stumping?

I guess I am just a bit paraoid that something will go terribly wrong and we will be up for lots of extra money... I really don't want to use all our renovation budget on just one thing.
