With the given criteria and without knowing the type of wall assembly it amounts to surgical removal with diamond tools.

thick paint removal from old brick house

on Nov 06, 2000

Recently purchase a home built in 1745 and updated in 1880.The original part of the house is brick and over the years it has been painted many, many times. I have tried removing the paint with stripper, doesn't do anything. I been removing the paint by hand, one brick at a time, this works but takes forever. I tried a wire brush on a drill but that damages the brick. Since this is a huge home, I really need a suggestion. I have read that power washing would damage the brick also. Help! Thanks, Dale

concrete as a floor

on Nov 06, 2000

I have seen some shows on tv that highlights the use of scored concrete as a flooring option. Is this less expensive than tile? Can this type of floor be poured or does it have to be a slabbed house, using the original concrete?
