      I just watched another video and they did it for 3 walls but not the 4th wall (against the outside) or the ceiling. Not sure what the rhyme or reason is or if it even matters honestly. The wall that was against the outside, they did staple plastic insulation to the studs before drywalling.

  • @aanlran

    Hey there, I was wondering if you are noticing any issues after insulating your outside walls? I see a lot of builders and restored house builders talk about makign sure you dont block the air from running down older houses. they say that you need to either seal the outside of the house or you can use this egg crate type of things to keep the insulations from the wall and allow a barrier for the wood to breath and dry for when it rains. Let me know if you have any leaks and if you noticing rot happening yet or not.

      1892 house here. I have heard the same thing. I'm gonna install without the plastic insulation. The lower two floors get extremely humid in the summer, I think that moisture needs as many paths to escape as possible. If you were running an industrial dehumidifier 24/7 in the summer it probably wouldn't matter. I have considered that. Bigger electric bill but would save much more on the gas bills Dec/Jan/Feb

    I have a house built in 1900 that I'm hoping to start demo on. This is the first I have seen of anyone leaving the lathe up. I see in the comments that you said this was because of the trim. The original trim was the whole reason I bought the house. My issue is that I need to insulate the entire second floor and add electrical as there is one outlet and one light switch for the whole 3 bedrooms and they are both in the hallway. Would you still suggest still leaving the lathe up or just trimming down the trim if needed?

    • @KletteTech
      @KletteTech  3 ปีที่แล้ว +6

      I left the lath on the ceiling but took it down on the walls. Then I tacking in the trip going vertical. If you dont do that when you put up the drywall the trim will stick out the length of the width of the lathe. Does that make sense? I love old trim and I try everything I can to save it.

    Awesome video, Im looking at a house that's from 1900, but it's plaster and lath, I'd want to put drywall up in a few rooms at least, but wonder, Is there anyway to put the drywall ontop of the horsehair plaster stuff? Or should I remove all the plaster and put up drywall on the lath

    • @KletteTech
      @KletteTech  4 ปีที่แล้ว

      I have never installed drywall over plaster. I have seen done thou. For example in my kitchen someone drywalled over the plaster with 1/4 drywall. Sounds easy but not sure how well it would hold up. Also, keep in mind if you drywall over the plaster, you will need to remove and resize all of the trim and baseboard in the room. Also, if you want to insult behind the wall it is easier to remove everything. Here is a video that did on removing plaster: th-cam.com/video/ivv89VcBA3s/w-d-xo.html

      @KletteTech  11 หลายเดือนก่อน

      At first I only removed the outer trim. I did not want to take remove all the trim with the risk of damaging it. I also thought it would be more work. I ended up taking all the trim down except the around the closet and door because I needed to insulate it. The door and closet are not on outside walls. So I did not have to worry about air drifting through.

    Great vid, thanks so much!
    I'm thinking of buying a project house, it's 100 years old, and they had started renovation, then somebody lost their job or something.
    The house (huge, 2800 sq ft) was stripped down to the lath - no insulation. I'm wondering if it might be easier to just go ahead and drywall over the lath, then blow in insulation from above down between the studs, rather than having to remove all the lath and staple in the insulation.
    Would remove any lath necessary for new wiring, of course.
    Also, how the heck do you get drywall up to a 20' ceiling?
    Any thoughts?
    Thanks again!

    • @KletteTech
