Tear down wall in bedroom

[Tille82]

Hello everyone!

We want to tear down our wall in the bedroom, the studs should stay as on the other side of the wall is our bathroom. Is there a better way to take down the wall in the bedroom than using a reciprocating saw? The problem is that there are a lot of water pipes in the wall.

Posting a picture of how it looks, it should be added that we renovated 3 years ago and we had some incompetent contractors, Golv & Kakel Byggservice in Halmstad, this picture was taken after the renovation was complete, and as you can see, it doesn't look so positive.

All tips are welcome

You want to tear down the wall, but the studs should remain and on the other side is the bathroom? I'm not sure we share the same definition of what tearing down a wall means, but it sounds impractical to have a bathroom wall that only consists of studs.

I needed to do the same a few years ago.
Bought something called a precision circular saw at Jula.
A small circular saw where you could set the cutting depth to a maximum of 12mm. Then you can either saw precisely through or leave a few mm if you're afraid of hitting a pipe, and then knock away the piece.
This way, you can work away the wall bit by bit.

I mean demolishing the wall might have been the wrong term but I want to remove our side of the wall, to redo it on our side

thank you, I had completely missed that, I'll take a look

Just checked Jula myself, it doesn't seem to be in their assortment (typical because I need a new blade) but there should be similar ones or at some other place.

I just checked too and saw that it wasn't there, I'll have to keep looking.

Why do you want to remove the records?

Is it tap water pipe on the left?

 

[Tille82]

no, it's water pipes that go to our radiator we have upstairs

Here's what it looks like with exposed beams (before they messed it up and finished without considering the height).
