Help Removing Old Tiles

[bumblefoot]

I'll try and remove back to brick tomorrow but think taking the wall down or blowing it up would be easier.

those tiles have been up 30+ years. Old school method of tiling.

That is one occasion where tile on tiles would have been appropriate !

Too late now and there's not enough room around the door frames and windows 🙁

Additional moulding to architrave overcomes door frame issue.

Almost killed me but one wall done. Just needs cleaning up. Then the next two wall and one wall to come down 🙁 Cork tiles and black sticky stuff on the floor too.

I have seen that type of walls also have chicken wire in as well........think yourself lucky!

Ahh .. The ol sand and cement fix... My ol man and his dad fixed this way... Always butt jointed.. But that's on another thread. Chopped many of these of with club hammer and bolster..use to have cut and scrapes to prove it.. As some one has already mentioned , sometimes easier to take back to brickwork and P board... (IMPO)....🙄

I've certainly got the cut and scrapes..🙂
