Hey:

Our walls are all plaster and the house was built in the 40's.
We reinforced the joists in the basement about a year ago and now we have a couple of cracks to repair. One above a door frame and one above a window trim.

What's the best way to repair the cracks?

Also wondering what the best type of paint is to use for plaster walls.

Thanks in advance
:)
