Bye~Bye Carpet

 

Our house was built in 1973 with 2x4 construction.  Down and dirty housing built at the start of the Alaska Pipeline project, housing for the oil pipeline management personnel. We have remodeled most of the house to include a new kitchen, both bathrooms and a new fireplace.  We have been in the attic and the crawlspace re-insulating and upgrading so we have a fair idea of what we are getting ourselves into. 

The plan for this room is to take the sheet rock off, re-insulate and vapor barrier the two outside walls as the room is very cold in the winter and as you know we have a lot of winter.  When we pulled the carpet we can see tell-tale signs of water damage and mold.  Not sure what we will find but it’s bound to be interesting.
