Three hours later and the room just about stripped. Did I mention how fast these guys work?
Surveying the upstairs bedroom...decision was made to demo the entire room...The other discovery has been the complete lack of insulation. There is absolutely NONE in this house. You can stand upstairs and see down the wall to the first floor. Can you imagine how cold it must have been? Talk about energy inefficient...
Our plan was to demo about 80% of the house. We hoped to only tear down the walls impacted with the new construction. Once again, however, the plan has been adjusted. We figure this will be our only time to get it right and with the floor joist issue, all first floor ceilings will have to be replaced anyway. Ah, the fun continues...
I just keep telling myself we'll be living in a "new" old house. And it will all be worth it.
