Can I remove pebbledash from pebbledash walls?
Hello Myself and my partner are looking at some new homes which feature pebbledash walls on the outside. We would prefer the traditional brick look, as best as possible, rather than the existing pebbledash. We would consider these houses if there are suitable removal methods. Can the pebbledash layers be removed without leaving stains or damage to the brickwork beneath? Could bricks underneath be damaged in the process? Is the whole process expense typically?

New Build Apartment Plaster Cracks
We have an apartment in a large, newly built apartment building. It is a monolithic structure with concrete block dividing walls. The block was covered in plaster and painted. We now have a crack in the plaster a few months later. Our contractor said to wallpaper because plaster walls could crack due to building settling as the apartments are all built out internally. We wanted paint though. The crack basically follows where a channel was carved into the plaster for wiring. It is not one clean crack, but rather a series of many hairline cracks that from a meter or two away looks like one crack. It seems there are many opinions on how to fix suck cracks. I do not understand the best way though. How should I repair it?
