This is the first legitimate project in a while. I am going to demo the bedroom closet and install a nice space-efficient closet unit in order to maximize the space. Currently there is one shelf and one clothes bar in the closet. This makes it impossible to use the space high in the closet and painful to use the space low in the closet. With such a small house, maximizing storage is essential.
To start with I use my crow bar and hammer to remove the shelf and support boards. These must have been original because the demo reveals the plaster on the wall with no paint over it. I also remove the window sill and the casing around the window. While this window does provide some light, it is not worth the space on the wall, so I am filling the gap with drywall. Time will tell if an addition of a closet light will be required. After cutting and installing the drywall piece (with the back side painted bright white, even though this window is barely visible from the outside), I apply a large amount of mud to all the damaged areas. This will take most of the week in the evenings to cycle through sanding and mudding until there is a fairly smooth surface remaining.
