DSC00462 - Beginning of demo. This is where the pedestal sink was.

DSC00463
DSC00463 - Demo. You can see the glue squigglies from the old paneling that went over the plaster

DSC00463
DSC00464
DSC00464 - more plaster, more squigglies

DSC00464
DSC00465
DSC00465 - This is the ceiling. The hole is where the light fixture was. I took this pic to show the bulge where the plaster was cracked.

DSC00473
DSC00474
DSC00474 - Toilet/sink wall demo'd.

DSC00474
DSC00475
DSC00475 - I decided to hammer off the plaster/keys first, and leave the lath for last to make cleanup easier. Without all of the lath sticking out of the pile it's much easier to bag up the plaster.

DSC00475
DSC00476
DSC00476 - More plaster/lath

DSC00476
DSC00477
DSC00477 - The picture doesn't show it very well, but the exterior wall had plaster over drywall, which I thought was odd.

DSC00477
DSC00478
DSC00478 - This is a better shot of the drywall I found behind the plaster on the exterior wall. Very weird wild stuff.

DSC00478
DSC00479
DSC00479 - Another picture of drywall behind plaster.

DSC00479
DSC00480
DSC00480 - This blew my mind. The dark brown areas are plaster, and the greenboard sections were installed in a seemingly random pattern. Very poor work.

DSC00481 - Two tub walls minus panels, before demo.

DSC00482 - Tub walls

DSC00482
DSC00483
DSC00483 - The black hole is a return that was covered by the plastic panel on the long wall of the tub.

DSC00483
DSC00484
DSC00484 - More of the ridiculous drywall setup behind the tub's plastic walls. You can see two rectangles that aren't green in the upper left section- That's plain old drywall. I guess they ran out of little tiny rectangles.

DSC00484
DSC00485
DSC00485 - Another shot of the return vent.

DSC00485
DSC00486
DSC00486 - This was the bulging section of the ceiling. It all came down in about three or four swings.
