I have heated ceilings in a 60 year old house. The problem is one
area of ceiling about 4 feet by 4 feet has multiple cracks and is now
sagging.
I have no problem with such repairs but am a little wary of the
heating wires and not sure how to go about reconnecting the ceiling
since I can't just tear in out.
Has anyone attempted this kind of repair. Any help is appreciated.

troll

troll (trol) verb
To post a message in a newsgroup or other online conference in the hopes
that somebody else will consider the original message so outrageous that
it demands a heated reply. A classic example of a troll is to post an
article in favor of torturing cats in a pet lovers' newsgroup.

What is your problem? You have no idea what I was refering to do
you. If not, just don't say anything.

Why do you say troll? Have you never heard of heated ceilings? They were
very "state of the art" some years ago and was thought to be the wave of the
future. Educate yourself rather than ridicule.

Not even , very common , electric wires embedded in the plaster ,

to the op, if the heat still works , then no problems ,
they are simply bare nichrome wires embedded in the plaster ,
carefully clean the cracks , and repair with plaster . or mud ,
being certain to not nick or scrape the wires . and then allowing
plaster or mud to set completely before powering them up .


good luck
