I love pulling random things off in my house and finding funny paint. One of my bedrooms had 5 layers of wallpaper... when I was scraping it I found a little of each, one worse then the other.

I feel for you on the flooded basement bit....

Dewalt isn't what it used to be, Rebranded B&D now.

Is it pretty common where you live to fur out the basement walls?

If you no how to fix flood damage you should move to N.O.

the bumped out part?


that's the foundation sill in the back of the house, if that is what you are referring to

In this style of house(ranch) built in the 70's and 80's it fairly common

In your typical colonial or victorian or gambriel then no

no mold, they got lucky..

oh there was mold growing

shit's been flooded twice since i have owned it (2003)

Originally they had carpet glued down, you can see it still behind the carpet tackstrip. So I had my suspicions it was prone to being flooded with me being in the flooring business.

So it's probably flooded 3-6 times

Everything is hacked

I'm gonna do it right

somewhat lol

BTW insurance is paying for this
I'm gonna make out big time if I do 90% of the work myself, so I'm kinda stoked .
