This is a picture of our solid wood walls. The squalor surrounding them would be 77-years of wallpaper and some type of very thin Masonite-type material. We were planning on removing the wallpaper, but once we decided that tearing the walls to the studs meant tearing down the walls, we decided to just leave as-is and apply drywall on top. The new plan means much less work and less chance of our house falling down.
Another picture of the same thing but this one provides more context.
Here are our hallway floors. We've been living with these for over 5-years because we just didn't have the energy to remove multiple layers of linoleum and asbestos tiles after doing it in all the other rooms, even though this was by far the smallest space. None of our hallway doors have closed entirely due to the difference in height between the rooms and the hallway.
It took us about an hour to remove all the layers. All doors now close and the floor is down to the original hardwoods, just like the living room and master (right doorway). Had we only known this project was going to be so easy, we would've tackled it years ago. We're losers.
