It did not take Jeff & Jess long to get started remodeling their home. They moved in one day and the next day he started what will be his Red Wings decorated office. Here are pictures they took of their start of the project. The room had plaster walls and his goal was to strip it down to the studs and put up new drywall.
Step 1 as Jeff puts it, was removing all the trim boards that were on the wall running vertically. Step 2 was removing the carpet.
Step 3 was removing all the lath holding the plaster. And then cleaning up the mess. I am glad he was able to do this as this was a dirty and dusty job which he did a great job of doing. The outside two walls are now ready for insulation.
Step 4 Putting up the insulation.
Now it’s at this point I get involved. After adding a couple of electrical outlets it was time to hang the new drywall they had picked up. So on Saturday afternoon we worked until late afternoon/early evening until we had it all hung. It was a little challenging as we needed to use 5/8” drywall to make it fit nice and we had some door and window casings to fit around.
Jeff putting screws in the last sheet to complete the first wall we started on.
This pictures shows Jeff putting back up a piece of
baseboard removed. We are almost done.
All drywall is up. Jeff just needs to go back and put in some more screws and then we are ready to start the taping and mudding process. Christi walked over and spent some time with Jess and then we all enjoyed pizza together – a yummy reward for a successful afternoon. 
Hope you will enjoy watching their progress and finished product when done.
