Ugly Room Pictorial Update...

I thought I would post pictures of the room that we have been tearing apart for the past couple of weeks...


In this photo, you can see the old ceiling tiles...which I think were made of some kind of a fiberglass material. Not sure about that...

This is the closet we decided to tear down...




This is the plaster-over-wood lathing that was behind the panels on three walls... yuck

This is just another view of the painted panels that were on the walls, and the gaps between them...


This is the same corner of the room as the picture posted above, but after we tore off the panels, the plaster, and most of the lathing...




This is the wall on the door side, the closet used to be to the right of the door. This is before the plaster was taken off this wall...

This is looking up at the lathing on the ceiling, after we took down the ceiling tiles, and chipped away all the plaster...

and this is the other front corner of the room, with Dear Hubby working on updating the electrical wiring in the room...


and finally, this is the wall behind the door, after the panels, plaster and lathing have been removed. Right behind the door is the old chimney. That had 1" thick CEMENT on it...boy was that ever fun to chisel off.... (yeah, right... I would compare it to a root canal - minus the anesthetic....)
Now the good part will be coming...I can't wait...for the drywall!!!
When that is up, I'll post "after" shots...
