Tearing Down the Inside

All of the first floor rooms had panelling on them. This had to be torn out to reach the walls, most which are plaster and lath.

The dark spots are mold that was growing under the panels in the bathroom. The mold was reaching close to the ceiling which was 10 feet in height.

The panelling from the bathroom, kitchen and bedroom were placed in the middle of the room before being taken to the curb for disposal.

When the panelling was removed in one of the rooms, you could see the old wallpaper and clearly see the height of the water in the room.

Dark spots indicate mold in this room as well.

Canned water from Anheuser-Busch and Miller was available. You had to wear rubber boots due to the mud prevalent in the yard.
