Currently tearing down to build a bathroom on our ground floor. The house is a brick house built in 1894 with 1.5 floors. I am a bit unsure about what I will find in the ceiling and don't really know how far "up" I should go before we can start building downwards again, so to speak. In the sketch (Paintskills ) I've drawn where we are now, what I'm curious about is what I will find if I tear down what is marked in light brown, i.e., what I've drawn in green on the sketch. So far, we've torn down (counting from bottom to top) Tretex - Råspont - Paper. What is visible from below now are roughly sawn boards that lie loosely between the beams.
Well - Curiosity got the better of me and I tore down a small piece today (3 planks). Above it, there's paper and above the paper, there's something like stone dust, brick pieces, and plaster remnants - Spent the rest of the evening vacuuming the entire downstairs :-/
Looks like I'll have to tackle it from the upstairs as it seems...
