I think renovation is much more challenging than building from scratch. Everything you do must take existing construction into account. I can deal with things like walls not being square but the thing that I am growing to hate most is determining how to transition to existing wall. In our case it's the whole drywall hung over plaster thing. We've got metal crap sticking out that is attached under wallboard we are trying to keep. Matching new wallboard to the existing stuff is a real pain. Especially determining how to transition to tile.
We decided to build a shallow shelf as a sort of chair rail type thing to cover the transition from old to new wall. In preparation for the new wall (where the tile used to be). I cut a bunch of half inch furring strips from plywood and gave them to Melissa to hang with the nail gun.

I share in your hatred of drywall hung over plaster. When I hang my TV I am dreading how I will attach it to the wall. Much of my drywall and plaster is attached to brick, so anchoring a TV stand is going to be a bear...
Corey,
Brick? Wow that's weird...but kind of cool. I'll have to check out your blog. How big is your TV? Maybe you can get a 3-stud wall mount and use masonry screws (and a masonry bit) to hang it. I say three stud because you can spread the weight between the anchors better. That's what I did with a 50" flat screen. Of course, I was lucky enough to have wood studs...once I found em!
We're doing renovations and need to get furring strips -- we can't find them anywhere. Can anyone tell me where we can find them in LI, NY. thanks!

Crusades (1095-1291)
--------------------
First Crusade: 1095 on command of pope Urban II. [WW11-41]
Semlin/Hungary 6/24/96 thousands slain. Wieselburg/Hungary 6/12/96 thousands. [WW23]
9/9/96-9/26/96 Nikaia, Xerigordon (then turkish), thousands respectively. [WW25-27]
Until Jan 1098 a total of 40 capital cities and 200 castles conquered (number of slain unknown) [WW30]
after 6/3/98 Antiochia (then turkish) conquered, between 10,000 and 60,000 slain. 6/28/98 100,000 Turks (incl. women & children) killed. [WW32-35]
Here the Christians "did no other harm to the women found in [the enemy's] tents - save that they ran their lances through their bellies," according to Christian chronicler Fulcher of Chartres. [EC60]
Marra (Maraat an-numan) 12/11/98 thousands killed. Because of the subsequent famine "the already stinking corpses of the enemies were eaten by the Christians" said chronicler Albert Aquensis. [WW36]
Jerusalem conquered 7/15/1099 more than 60,000 victims (jewish, muslim, men, women, children). [WW37-40]
(In the words of one witness: "there [in front of Solomon's temple] was such a carnage that our people were wading ankle-deep in the blood of our foes", and after that "happily and crying for joy our people marched to our Saviour's tomb, to honour it and to pay off our debt of gratitude")
The Archbishop of Tyre, eye-witness, wrote: "It was impossible to look upon the vast numbers of the slain without horror; everywhere lay fragments of human bodies, and the very ground was covered with the blood of the slain. It was not alone the spectacle of headless bodies and mutilated limbs strewn in all directions that roused the horror of all who looked upon them. Still more dreadful was it to gaze upon the victors themselves, dripping with blood from head to foot, an ominous sight which brought terror to all who met them. It is reported that within the Temple enclosure alone about ten thousand infidels perished." [TG79]
Christian chronicler Eckehard of Aura noted that "even the following summer in all of palestine the air was polluted by the stench of decomposition". One million victims of the first crusade alone. [WW41]
Battle of Askalon, 8/12/1099. 200,000 heathens slaughtered "in the name of Our Lord Jesus Christ". [WW45]
Fourth crusade: 4/12/1204 Constantinople sacked, number of victims unknown, numerous thousands, many of them Christian. [WW141-148]
Rest of Crusades in less detail: until the fall of Akkon 1291 probably 20 million victims (in the Holy land and Arab/Turkish areas alone). [WW224]
Note: All figures according to contemporary (Christian) chroniclers.
