Pro tip. It is going to be a lot harder but you're supposed to be going sideways with your drywall sheets, not long ways. The reason is because the sheets support each other when they're resting on each other.

[@leal536]

Oh my - reminds me of the bathroom remodel my husband & I did years and years ago!! The original build was also plaster and lathe BUT, we discovered that the tub was put in before the floor so there was a problem there and we could not use the old tub. A lot of work went into this! Fortunately, my husband was a carpenter so that part of the remodel went just fine! The plumbing, not so much!!!

[@haveagreatday3664]

I just bought that exact pedestal sink, only a few years older, with separate hot and cold taps to replace a cheap inappropriate vanity that was in my newly purchased historic Victorian home. She’s not installed yet but I’m going to keep the rust on it and celebrate her in her almost 100 year old form. Just realized the sink is extremely short and hard to use…but it’s too late and the rustic sink will be the coolest part of the room. Hope you guys keep yours, even if it’s to give/sell to someone like me that would be honored to have it.

[@LaLadybug2011]

Could you build a platform for it to raise it up? Good luck with your "new" old home. I love them too!

Couple comments about asbestos, it's not prevalent in all building materials before 1978 but it was a great insulator and used in hvac and heating flue pipes primarily.

[@skylineOwnZall]

Just in that bathroom, It could have been used in the plaster, ceramic thinset, tub/sink caulk, and plumbing insulation.

Wow! Great transformation!

A easy way to fit the trash from plaster & lath is to lay the trashcan on its side and put the wood in that way, you will use up a lot more space valuably

[@mikeadams2252]

FYI for the future. Knock the plaster off, clean that up, then tear the lath off. Then just clean up the lath. Way easier 👍

[@nikandlivDIY]

We prefer Schluter systems! Haha but yeah these old showers are incredible 😂😂

[@randibgood]

The secret is that was done by quality craftsmen. And it was all torn out and I'm sure will be replaced with the same grey/black and white bathroom EVERY house has now. They'll probably even put a barn door up in there somewhere. And didn't even salvage the tub, tile, sink or toilet. People just don't appreciate the craftsmanship that these older houses glow with.🤦🙄🤷

Next time just take down the plaster and you can leave the lathe there for more backer support. Or if you want remove all of it, take off the plaster first and then the lathe it makes faster clean up.

How do you even know there was asbestos in the house? We own a 120-year-old house. There is NO asbestos in the house. NEVER WAS. We have horsehair plaster (which does suck) 2 years ago we had our 1 full-bath bathroom remodeled. A knee wall was taken down, adding a foot to the floor plan and another 2 feet was added by going into a bedroom. Everything was taken down to the studs. We even had the radiator taken out and an electric baseboard was put in. I think we’ve turned it on only twice! (We live in the Northeast!) As this is our only full bath we did replace the tub and added barn door sliding glass doors., and added a rain shower shower head; instead of putting in a walk-in shower. We also were able to put in a 60-inch double vanity with vessel sinks. The toilet was moved to a different wall than where it was before. The entire bathroom was pricy (around $26,000 total); but worth it. It’s really beautiful.
