Today was pretty much devoted to pulling panelling, furring strips, plaster, lathe, and bricks from the walls. The exterior walls all had bricks inside. These are not structural but, rather, meant as a heat sink, barrier from wind, fire block, and insulation. We have better quality insulation that acts as a fire block (like Rockwool) available now.
The south wall is (mostly) done.
The west wall is next. You can see the old 70 Amp Stab-Lok panel there.
Later progress…
I noticed that there used to be a window there. Why did they take it out and place one on the south wall? On the outside, the old window hole is stucco-ed over. Now that south window opens onto the sun room (a.k.a. front porch). Lotta good that does if you want fresh air. I might take that south window out and put a new window where it used to be, facing west.
