Den Walls
_______________________________________________ March 9, 2008
![]() Tearing down plaster walls is a messy job... ![]() We installed a proper header above the closet door opening. Whoever did the previous work just cut off the existing studs and did not support the ceiling above the correct way. ![]() Me screwing in the new header and trying not to knock any more plaster off the wall. ![]() Brooke posing with the new header. Now that its up we can finish taking out the small wall in the closet. ![]() The wall removed and the door to the other room framed in so we can cover it with drywall. ![]() Next we put new insulation in the two walls where we had removed it. ![]() Then we realized the new drywall was close to a half inch thinner than the old plaster walls and would result in a gap between the wall and the hardwood floor, so we had to cut strips of half inch plywood to put on all the studs as spacers. ![]() Putting up the drywall. Brooke had fun with the Roto-Zip cutting out the opening for the window. ![]() After we finished installing the drywall. ![]() And the other side of the room. |
