December 1999
The third floor was totally opened up in
preparation for the new HVAC system to be installed in the attic above. |
 |
March 2000
The
third floor is finally ready for close-in.
HVAC in, new electrical, plumbing, and for the first time in the
house – INSULATION!
Next
comes rock lath and plaster…
(No, we are not going to keep the brick open; it
all gets new, real plaster.) |

March 28, 2000
Finally
the close-in with rock lath.
Next comes the mud.
|

|
| Almost
ready for plaster...
Two
coats of brown coat come first (gypsum & Purlite).
|

|
Mid
May 2000
Finally
the white coat (which is lime mixed with molding plaster). What a
transition! |

|
| The third floor is a real hideaway.
This is where the master bedroom, closet room (yes, I said
"room"), and extended master bath.
