Jackson's Mansion

Dust and demolition being the worst...

I believe I am finished the lathe and plaster removal of the "log room".  This last weekend I took just under 2500lbs of plaster and 3 truckloads of lathe to the dump.  Today I removed the old knob/tube wiring and doubled the entry way to what was the "log room" and will eventually be a game room of sorts.   This weekend I will support and rough in the opening propperly.

The next steps...

With this room gutted I can feed 240V to a bedroom on the second floor which is without heat.  Following that I will wire this room, throw some insulation around, and throw some drywall up.  As well a front window will go in, approx 68" x 88".

Still not sure what I am going to do with the floors.  It's real tempting to rip the plywood sub floor up and install a hardwood of some sort.  If we don't do that it will be a lamitate product.

You will note the progress report to the right - The dining room is sitting at 100% complete.  I have officially removed the Star Wars bed sheet from the exterior french doors and have installed propper window coverings.  I am esspecially proud that these were installed the same day they arrived!
