First we took the tile ceiling down.
Then we pulled off the wood paneling. Yup, that plaster is pretty bad.
So off it came - which I felt bad about, because it was so old and seemed to have a lot of history in it. But there were so many holes in it that it would never look good even if we patched it.
It looked like at some point someone had taken the plaster off one of the walls, put up drywall, and wallpapered it. At some point, this was plastered over again and painted to match the room. I can't imagine why that wallpaper ever went out of style.
So, here's where we are. We're going for the post-apocalyptical meets cold war Russian Industrialism. Let me know if we are getting close. (In an unrelated matter, is an "apocalyptical" something that the Four Horsemen exercise on? You know, an Apocalyptical Trainer? Har har)
So, we are waiting the for dumpster so we can get rid of this stuff, and for the contractor to put up drywall.You know what they say, " He who laths last, laths least"...or something like that.
No really - come visit!

I think you need 4 apocalyptical trainers so the horsemen won't have to wait their turn.
That wallpaper definitely needed some table lamps with ball fringed shades.
I can't see lath without thinking about the dead cat the protagonists hid behind it in Stalky & Company. If your inherited cats start diaappearing, don't put up wallboard intil you check.
--nothing to get all LATH-ered up about though.
I wish I were there to help demolish, it looks like sooo much fun- and a great place to hide Easter Eggs.
Oh wow. A whole family of punsters. I knew you and your brother were bad, but now I see where the horrible puns come from. ;)
You are making some quick work on the house! Tell the truth - is it kind of fun to destroy it? It's going to be great when it's all done!
