Rip & Rebuild
The girls' bedroom is the northwest corner of the house. The house, built in the mid 1940's, was never insulated.
I am correcting that minor oversight.
Not to mention that the room has not been painted in 15 years.
So I kicked the girls out of their room -- their dressers are sitting in the living room, they'll be sleeping in the living room on the sofa and a camping cot.
Moved everything out of the room. Several boxes stored in the patio room, about two barrels of trash dating back a decade. That was yesterday. Took a picture this morning, left.
Then I started ripping the plaster off the interior of the two outside walls, tossing the chunks out the front window into my box trailer. Am down to picking the tiny pieces and pulling nails. Not a bad day's work -- but not as far along as I hoped I would be.
