I have another question on cracks in ceiling in our living room. As I previously posted I have removed the ceiling and walls in our kitchen.

This is a ranch house built in 1950. The walls & celing consist of a bottom layer of 1/4" sheetrock with 1/2 to 5/8" plaster on top of that. Really Heavy. We have several cracks in the ceiling. Is there anyway to repair this or is it better to also remove it all and start over?

Thanks for any advice that you have.
