So the progress continues on the bedroom. When we last left you we had gotten to this point. Dividing wall had been removed and ready to move along with fixing up the bedroom.
We decided that the drywall was poorly installed (no joint tape) and was coming apart at the seams. Some had some prior water damage. And we were still worried about kitty pee in various places. We also had been considering adding insulation to the walls and ceiling to keep the room cozy in the winter.
So we started removing drywall in the problem areas. Like here:
And here.
We found the older section of the room had been insulated using rock felt instead of fiberglass. That will eventually all get replaced.
Moving right along...
Of course the next day I forgot my camera. We made a good deal of progress. The ceiling drywall was much easier to remove.
Looking pretty good! We got all the drywall off the walls and ceiling. Made it a bit easier to see what we're dealing with here.
1 of 2 buckets with nails from the drywall. I'm not sure what took more time. Pulling the drywall down, or pulling out all the nails.
A little bit of cleaning up later, and we get this! We just placed the old subfloor back down so we wouldn't get drywall bits all in the fiberglass. Worked relatively well too.
Stay tuned! Coming up next is the removal of the flooring.
