The wardrobe was massive and a god damn awful pain in the arse to unbuild (and too big to take to the tip in our tiny car) but it had to be done, leaving this gross wallpaper and possibly damage all the way to the original plaster from ca. 1907.
The shelving tracks on the right are ancient and the screws just wont budge at all. There’s half a dozen layers of paint and wallpaper making it worse (you can see how deep it goes where the shelves have been in place even longer). Any ideas on decimating some old ass screws would be cool. We can afford to hire or borrow powertools if that’s necessary.
EDIT oh we peeled some of it back and the plaster is fucked to the brick lmao
They’re in ancient wall plugs that were put into masonry/plaster but hopefully with more leverage we can do something with them. The tracks are limiting our options with getting something like a hacksaw behind em.
