Burst Pipes


When water pipes burst in an old farmhouse, the demolition and repair work can be challenging. Bill and Christian are removing more of the kitchen ceiling under the master bathroom plumbing, which is fixed and soon insulated with two layers of Roxul R15 Comfort Bats. Roxul insulation is nonflammable and will make the corner of this kitchen quiet.


Next; two layers of 5/8" sheetrock were installed to meet the old plaster ceilings and all covered with beadboard to match the rest of the ceiling. Bill primed the higher grade beadboard in the barn. We have painted the new beadboards a brighter white which is like the same ceiling in the sun room. It is a great solution for covering many issues and easy to keep clean. This kitchen will have gray walls and all white woodwork eventually.
