After we got all the plaster knocked down we started removing the lathe boards. What a pain in the butt that was. Each board had to be pulled out individually, held in by far too many nails. Then we had to get the boards with a billion nails in them out of the house. Just look how many there were...

We decided to leave the ceiling in due to the amount of attic crap that was falling through the lathe boards. We put up a sheet of plastic to prevent more from falling an then Tony framed out a new ceiling right below the existing one.
UGH! Lucky for me I was pregnant and I got out of all the hard stuff.

Tony did most of the moving boards out of the house part, and probably far more of the pulling nails and boards down, but I did my fair share also!

| One wall all done. And look outside wall, ZERO insulation!!! |
We discovered that if we saved some of the lathe boards to tack to the stud's we wouldn't need drywall as thick in order to match up to the window frames. We made sure to save some for this purpose.

| Tony put up the lathe boards on the studs as you can see here. |
After the lathe was out it was on to electric. Here you can kind of see the starts of wire being ran for electrical outlets and you can't see it here but lighting!

looks like hard work! Can't wait to see the finished product!
