This room wasn’t terrible to begin with. It had paneling on the walls, which we decided to keep, and a janky built-in desk, which we decided to lose. Jack and Brian patched in and repaired the paneling behind the desk. The main floor of this house has nine foot ceilings and a sheet of paneling is 8 feet long, so Jack had to spend quite awhile shoring up and smoothing out the transition between sheets of paneling. Again, he sanded that room from top to bottom, and we had to Kilz that powercat a couple of times.

One thing you can’t see in these pics is that some of the drywall in the closet had to be removed to replace the main drain stack (we knew from inspections that we’d have to do this repair) so there was some re-drywalling in there.
