More Plaster?

For some reason I decided not to remove the plaster in the stairwell down to the basement when we were gutting the house. We decided that today was the day to get rid of it, so Meredith did the plaster and I did the lathe. Ugh ... so dusty and messy.




You can see the backs of the oak risers in this photo. We plan to try to reduce the amount of creaking on these stairs by doing some work from underneath.

We found some interesting stuff again during this demo, including a penny from 1912 and a Cadillac tobacco card.
