Our beautiful bathroom...
So the super-stripper seems to be doing a good job of softening up the putty, and we can scrape down to the plaster and lathe using several coats of stripper. This system worked well enough that we decided to chip the plastic "tiles" off of the remainder of this particular wall and strip the putty off tomorrow. And then we found another, unwelcome surprise: underneath a large portion of the plastic tiles is... another layer of tiles, this time real ones (probably original to the house). Oh dear. Now we're faced with the thought of trying to chip these original tiles off the wall and sand off the mortar. Or maybe we'll have to give up entirely and knock the wall out and put up new drywall. We were really hoping to be able to avoid that. But we may be left with no other choice due to the stupidity of the previous owners of this house. I mean, who lays tile over the top of old tile??? Honestly, these people must have been complete idiots.
The tile mess.
Anybody know how to hang drywall?
