Last weekend Bill and Christian removed the bead board and then old plaster ceiling from the farmhouse kitchen here. It was a challenging-crazy-messy job separating wire from plaster and scooping out old fiberglass containing; fine particle blown-in insulation. The ceiling cove moldings were removed, labeled and saved first. Luckily the weather is warming and opening a window to remove old wood and dust wasn't a problem. Serious face masks and gloves were used with a saws-all and major cutting or prying tools.
The bead boards were cut up for kindling, wire folded and stacked for recycling, with old plaster and insulation double bagged for trash. Christian will rewire the room for recessed and task lighting before a new sheet rock ceiling is installed.
