Well not really pulling down the house, just the ceilings on the first floor. I've managed to pull down the living room and the hallway. I knew there was old lath and plaster in the living room and hall but the amount of dirt and grit that builds up over a 100+ years is amazing. Precautions were taken, tyvek suits with hoods were warn, respirators, goggles, work boot, and gloves to protect from falling debris and boards with nails. Here is what we were left with after the ceilings were pulled down. A few surprises but not too bad, at least now we can clear them up safely.
Living room, south east corner.
North end of the living room, with load bearing beam.
Hallway with two layers of plaster removed.
Hallway cleaned up.
A little surprise by the hall light, a hidden junction box.
Here is ReBecca, pulling nails after vacuuming all the old material out from between the floor joists. It brought back memories of the Star Fighter exercises we did in Germany. For those who remember, closed up to top high and ready for work, just another day at the office.
