Thought I'd update this with pictures. I've taken out all the wood paneling, that was NOT fun. Some of it was nailed, some of it was "staked" to the wall with nails long enough to trigger a TSA colorectal search. It's all gone now... Ugly stained drywall only now... pretty flat I must say...
It's all dry, the stains on the paper (facing me, that's backwards right??? other side was clean plaster) must predate the new roof, it's an old house...
From what you see, are we still OK to proceed with a second layer, in normal thickness then ?
On the side that is taller than 8 feet (to the roof), any chance I can roll paint on the paper side, with killz or something that at least makes it whiter ? Too high and too many ugly beams to do a good job going all the way up, and frankly I don't care. I just want white walls to 8ft.. This is not the Sistine Chapel !
Bare studs, + drywall, + wood paneling. We got ugly in all kind of styles !
Trash !
Wood removed
Other side, one hole, I did that in a moment of impatience dealing with a cluster of stakes that would not come off...
even uglier higher
