I started demolition today. I wanted to get an idea of what's behind those walls before I plan my weekend. When you tear down walls in a house that's over a hundred years old, you never know what's going to be back there. You could find hidden treasure, alien remains, or just really bad construction.
The bad news is that at some point in the history of this house someone blew insulation into the ceiling. This is going to make demolition a lot messier and much more of a pain in the ass.
The good news is that at some point someone (probably the same person) put new wiring into the ceiling. In the top photo you can see the old knob and tube wiring in the ceiling. That's what I was afraid I would be tearing out. Hopefully there isn't any current in there. I'll make my dog lick it tomorrow and see if she dies.
