Why does my smoke alarm detector beeps continuosly after a month of changing the battery?
I had the same problem and here is what I did. I put plastic over the doorway and closed the bedroom door to keep as much of the dust out of the rest of the house. Make sure that you wear a respirator mask and also eye protection. I just used a hammer and put holes all over the walls in the plaster and used the claw on the hammer to pull down the plaster to the floor. I did one wall at a time and then cleaned up the plaster on the floor. The biggest job is to take all the lath off. Each piece of lath had ltos of nails so I put the claw of the hammer behind each piece and pulled, dropping them to the floor. After getting all of them down, along with all the insulation that will fall out (it is probably a loose insulation) I cleaned all that up with a shop vac. After this step is done the rest wasn't so bad. You go thru and pull the rest of the nail that are left on the studs from the lath. The baseboard is also nailed on so I pulled that off. You have to do it carefully so you don't ruin it. Put in new insulation, put up your drywall, paint and put your old baseboard back up. It sounds like a lot of work but I did this project myself. I will take about a day for the demolition, a few hours to put in the insulation and then another day for the sheetrock. That is a timeline for someone that does not do this for a living. When you have the plaster off the walls, this is a great time to check the electrical and add a couple more outlets.
The only way to remove lathe and plaster is the use a hammer and break it off. Wear a good dust mask while you are working. There is probably lead paint buried under all the layers of paint on the walls. It is a dusty messy job. The old plaster is very heavy. It may cost you a few bucks in extra trash pick up to dispose of. After all the plaster is removed, pull off the lathe. Remove all the nails, or pound them in. Then hang the drywall on the exposed studs, tape, mud and sand. Prime and paint. Your probably going to have to sacrifice the baseboards. Once you get the plaster off the walls, you might be able to get a flat crowbar, behind them and work them loose. But old wood gets brittle and it may split. You may also want to re-insulate the room one you get the lathe and plaster removed.
I have found that taking the wall down to the studs is the best way to do this project. If you don't take the lathe off, you will have a hard time removing all the little plaster pieces between them. (time consuming). After the room is cleaned up add a layer of the old lathe vertically on each stud. This will allow you to install drywall out to the same depth as the old wall so window and door casing will fit properly. Be sure to use longer screws to anchor DW to studs, thru lathe Does the baseboard have a piece on top of it? If so, remove just this piece, and reinstall after new DW is in place. Otherwise just purchase a piece of base shoe and anchor on top of base after DW is installed.
hearth - you may might desire to permit Aries be the chief no remember in case you had to or no longer. they are able to be bossy. Leo might probable be all good in the event that they might communicate over Aries and Sadge is only too laid returned and does not care. Water - Scorpio. they're greater grounded and much less day-dreamy than maximum cancers Pisces. Air - Aquarius. Libra would be too distracted and Gemini won't provide up speaking long sufficient to get something accomplished. Earth - Virgo. they're extremely-neat prepared, regardless of the incontrovertible fact that Capricorn might do a solid activity, too. Taurus is my favourite Earth sign, yet i do no longer probable see them as leaders.
