What should also be mentioned is that a lot of the times plaster has asbestos in it. I've renovated 4 homes with lath/plaster and the plaster came back positive for chrysolite asbestos 3 out of 4 times.

Proper masks and suits, the room is usually sealed off under negative pressure, and the waste gets bagged and taken to EPA approved sites. Something to definitely test for before doing a project like the video here for sure.

When I demo'd my shower I was surprised to find it was plaster & lath. I could do 20 full power swings with a hammer and only make a tiny hole. It was a bit thicker than yours in the video. After demo'ing about 4 square feet by hand I gave up and bought a medium sized hammer drill from the big box store. Saved me an enormous amount of time and probably my elbows and wrists too. With the point chisel attachment it hammer drilled through the plaster like butter. Then I just pulled it off in sections. I dealt with the wire mesh with my sawzall after I made a line of holes with the hammer drill.

@nate33566 ай бұрын
Absolutely do not use a circular trash can. You will miss the can with the majority of the falling plaster. Get a trash can, new if necessary, that has flat sides that can abut the wall more completely. This is a massively messy job, and any attempt to contain the mess will pay off. Remember, these walls will probably also have lead paint in them, that will get mixed in with the plaster dust during demolition. A temporary "zip wall" to contain the mess to one portion of the room is also a worthwhile investment. At least a few plastic drop cloths taped to the ceiling, if zip wall isn't in your budget.
