Zoe here. We got back to working on the bathroom and house projects yesterday.While Steve worked on the framing above the sliding door to the new bathroom. I pulled lath and blown in fiberglass insulation off the stairway walls by the back door. It's icky work, and I was masked and wore long sleeves for the job. I was also careful to bag everything up when done. I hate blown in stuff!! It gets everywhere and itches like crazy! I don't know if I want to do much more of it, I also can't reach much higher, so Steve may just have to take over. hee hee As the switch for the stairwell lighting is on this wall , there's more knob and tube wiring to remove and replace, this will have to be dealt with as well. I have also done a test on the very old wall paper in the stairwell, it was originally behind painted wood paneling, which we removed. I did a lot of research online about removing old wall paper, and was not sure how easy ours was going to come off. So I decided to try the easiest method, water and vinegar and sprayed the walls... waited a while, then tried to scrape. It seemed to be coming off, not in big sheets or strips, but it did come off. It will take a lot of scraping to get it all off, but it can be done! I also had to wipe/wash the walls down afterwards as the house started to smell like vinegar. One thing that did occur to me was that the bare plaster walls are colder to the touch than the wallpapered walls. I was planning just to paint, but we may have to re-wallpaper after removing the old stuff. I'm not a fan of wallpaper at all but I may have to consider it at a later date. Steve got the framing done and hung the door to see how it would hang. We purchased the door from the Re-Store and it is very nice and brand new! We will have to figure out the floor levels as this may become an issue later on. The transition from the bathroom to the hallway and then from the hallway to the bedrooms are a little off. We have a few ideas with what we can do, but we need to really think things through and get a plan put together.
