These are photos of a small, unused bedroom in my house. This is the room that I will tear out and rebuild.
Time estimate: 6 months.
Cost estimate: $1,000.
I am sure that these estimates will be way off. Know where I learned that? Every fucking person I've ever hired in my life.
I have lots of rooms to rebuild. My house is about 120 years old and it's not insulated. If you've ever lived in an uninsulated house in the northeast, you either (1) went bankrupt paying heating bills, (2) bought lots of sweaters, or (3) killed your wife tauntaun style. I went with (2) last winter but definitely contemplated (3).
The walls and ceilings are made of plaster and lath and there are cracks showing in the plaster, so they must be replaced with drywall. I also want to replace the old wiring if there is any.
And there are bigger concerns. Have you heard of suburban ennui? It's good to smash things once in a while.
