Here's a view of some of the salt & assorted other mineral deposits
that have been growing on the wall INSIDE our home....
YES-sir-ee, it's Lovely!
...everyone wants these 'designer finishes' on their walls....
But you must have a broken pipe, flood your home, & then
endure many hours of fans drying out said structure
to achieve this kind of artistic wall texture.
Okay, Maybe NOT!
So, the next step is to get rid of the problem,
by 1st covering your entire room in plastic & tarps
And then scrapping off the growth & loose plaster...
maybe all the way down to the lathe or bricks.
My house isn't looking too pretty now...
and the next phase is to treat the wall with an acid wash
to leech out any remaining possible moisture.
Of course, now that it's all torn up & the built in cabinets are sitting in the middle of the room
and the warped & ruined fireplace mantle is demolished & tossed away,
there seems to be just a little problem getting the acid needed.
So this is how my house is left looking for the time being...
The OCD part of me is just thrilled.
What a Week we've had here!
