Made more holes. The going was so slow, I took a break and cleaned up a little bit.
It looks as if I'll have to put a small chase in the dining room, but it will be near the ceiling and on a corner that will only be seen when someone is exiting the kitchen, so it should be almost unnoticeable.
Instead of putting a chase behind the refrigerator, I put it underneath a cabinet, then into the wall cavity, then in a chase on the ceiling.
If I can get all of the pathways created this week, I'll be happy. As I said earlier, the pathways will also help with running electrical lines, so those should go more quickly.
I found a 1948 calendar. Nearby, inside the wall, was a board with a name on it (I can't remember the name right now) and "USA Army." Drawn in a childish hand on the board was a picture of an airplane shooting. I would guess that the veteran's little brother drew it. Anyhoo, I'll save it for the "museum."
PM
I forgot my camera, so will post photos tomorrow.
I've removed wallpaper from a fairly large area in the living room to try to determine how long it would take to do the whole room. The test extrapolates to 12 hours for the walls and another 12 hours for the ceiling. Doable, but time consuming.
I've decided instead to cover the wall and ceilings with 1/4 inch drywall. It should cut the time in half and will produce a better result.
