The Great Wall of Clark Place

Today, I am a Mongolian since I tackled one part of the Great Wall of Clark Place (bathroom 1st floor). After reading some posts and asking questions, it was suggested that I took down the plaster since I was going to tile almost 80% of the bathroom and install a whirlpool tub. I have sketched out a few plans but it's all still up in the air. The good thing about taking down the plaster is that I can install electric (up to code) along with gas, water pipes, drains, and other crap in the walls.

Taking down plaster is a bitch! For half a day, I used a hammer and a pry bar to take down the plaster. It got smokey and dusty. I also used an angle grinder but that caused me to have lung cancer and smoke inhalation from the bitter smoke.

A day later, I shopped at the local pawn shop and located my favorite tool to use against the plaster: an air chisel.

Let's look at the aftermath:

At this point I had wished I took a picture of all the plaster all over the floor. I had to drag the trashcan in the house to dispose the plaster. Look how much shit I had to take out (1 can)!

As you can see here, I am almost done.

Now here's a story. Look at the picture below.

Now look at this picture below.

Holy shit! There are two windows! I bet there must be a rule set by nickels that a bathroom should have one window! Well the previous owner seriously obeyed this rule. He boarded the right window. I wish I had a picture of what the outside looks like. He rigged it so well but ruined the house! So now I have to buy two windows to fit this messed up opening. Crap, more money to spend. God help me. There's still more work to be done.
