Upstairs Demo 07/07-08/07

Hello again! I know it has been sometime since the last post but we have been very busy lately.
We moved the scaffolding upstairs and started removing the plaster and bad lath hanging from the ceiling in the back bedroom.
This is a picture of me finishing off the dining room wall between the kitchen. I decided to remove it before starting in the back room.
Wanted to open up the doorway somemore between the two rooms.




In the meantime Jen got to work on the upper part of the dining room walls removing the plaster.











This is a picture of the back bedroom after I removed the plaster from the wall between the kitchen.
As you might remember there was a wall that divided this room and I also removed the furnace area also.
Our intent is to recover the wall with drywall and go from there.










We also finally got all the windows to open. This was great because it has gotten very hot upstairs.
This helps to get a nice breeze going through and also move the dust out.











Picture of the ceiling with almost all of the plaster removed.
We are going to also insulate above the remaining lath and then put up drywall here.







This is a look towards the front of the bedroom.
We will also cover the existing plaster on this wall with drywall also.


This is a look towards the back from the dining room area.






Jen working on removing the loose plaster and wall paper.





Most of her day was spent shoveling and bagging the plaster from the ceiling.
This is her pile she made it is about a half a ton.
