Hi everyone, this is my first post. My wife and I just recently acquired our first investment property. The house was built in the 1940s and has been neglected for most of that time. It is a single family house that's been converted to a duplex and some of the modifications done are quite questionable.
The first thing we noticed is that the laundry room floors and walls are a bit out of whack. I removed the old subfloor successfully but the drywall is another story. After removing the back section, I found what looks to be the wooden siding of the house.
In this case, should I repair the siding using similar materials and then put the drywall back, or should I take out the "siding" completely, or should I do something else all together?
Also, there's insulation in the walls that seems to be falling apart. Can I leave them as they are or should I remove them and / or replace with something else?
Thanks in advance!
