Ep2: Removing old lath and plaster!

So after wasting 6 months trying to buy a different house. We have gone with our planB house. One that needs vastly more work. A full house rescue. A full home renovation
We have gone from shoe box sized home with a massive mortgage in Leeds! To a Massive home restoration ,mortgage free, in Blackpool.
Will this fresh start work out for us?
Job one this week is to prep walls for plaster and first fix electrics.

What a great project. Now you’ll be able to insulate between the studs for better noise reduction. Don’t think about the whole project, just set yourself small tasks and tick them off. Courage!!

Oh so sad that the plaster was in such bad shape, but you really did fast work of taking down and cleaning up

[@CatherineH.-gf7mm]

Good luck to you from Texas! You are obviously a hard worker :)

I hope you’re able to salvage the baseboards. The woodwork is beautiful. Love those plaster crown moldings. Great idea to save them.

[@FromLeedsToWest]

Had to be done. We are saving the original. Baseboards in the living room ,playroom and the hallways. Hallway upstairs I’m going to have to find recreate some due to change of layout ,as they are original. Everywhere else will get replaced.

@@FromLeedsToWest I’m sure you’ll be able to recreate them. I would probably keep them original in the hallways and use what you have. If they change a little bit once you’re in a bedroom or bath it won’t be so noticeable. Might save a little money as baseboards like those will probably be pricey. I’ve been enjoying the videos. Thanks for sharing.

That comic book find, should have 100% been in the title and thumbnail!

[@FromLeedsToWest]

Thanks pal. Tried to message you on fb a month or so ago but I couldn’t find you. Hope you’re well mate.

Absolutely smashing it Dave! 💪🏼

[@FromLeedsToWest]

It really doesn’t feel like it but thank you.

I’d be scared to rip all those walls off until I’d secured the roof and attic floor/bedroom ceiling in case it all fell down.😆Exactly why did you chose there to start ?
