✨⚡️ Old wood, new bathroom.
This week’s project: moving the electrical so we can build out the new bathroom but trying really hard to save this 100+ year old wood plank wall. I just can't remove it and throw the boards in the dump to be destroyed. The thought kills me. Every board tells a story of those that built this home, cut the wood boards, and installed them. We are carefully threading wires and planning outlets without losing the history that’s literally holding this house together. This is not an easy task because we have to update for modern times but maintain something of the history.

It’s slow and dusty work. My dust allergies are killing me but it's worth it to keep the original character alive while making the space functional for our family and, hopefully, for the next century. 🪚🧡

This is what it looked like three months ago when it was still on the outside porch. https://pixelfed.social/p/Appalachian/866754760791770854

You’re looking at an unfinished interior wall of an old house where renovation work is happening. The wall is built of white-painted 100+ year old wood, but the paint is worn and stained in places, and some sections have been removed or cut away, revealing rough, weathered wooden boards underneath. Near the middle-right side of the image, there’s a rectangular wooden frame fastened to the wall. It is the shell of a cabinet that needs removed. Inside the frame you can see the exposed old wood planks of the original wall. The bottom of this framed box is open with two vertical wooden studs or braces sticking down. To the left, there’s a loose white electrical wire that snakes down the wall and hangs slightly. A blue electrical box with yellow sheathing peeks out on the far left edge. Below, there’s a detached cabinet door or panel leaning against the wall. In the far background through an open doorway, you can see part of another room: a cozy bedroom with white bedding, with a YorkieYou’re looking up at the unfinished ceiling of an old house where electrical work is in progress. The ceiling is made of wide white-painted boards and exposed wooden joists. Several bright yellow electrical cables (and a couple of red ones) are neatly threaded through holes drilled in the joists, running across the ceiling like organized veins. In the center-left of the image, there’s a gray metal electrical junction box mounted to a beam, with multiple yellow wires feeding into it. The surrounding area shows a mix of old wood and newer framing . The wall below still has rough, weathered boards with faded white paint, while to the right you can see new pale wood studs and some brown insulation tucked between them. The overall scene feels like a mid-renovation moment with new wiring being carefully installed while much of the old structur
