Began to tear down walls for a small remodel and discovered quite a few problems and oddities, one of which was the block runs all the way up to the roof, and on the main floor there was simply plaster applied directly over the block. You can see in the picture to the right the exposed block around the small bathroom window.
My question is moving forward with the remodel do I need to remove the plaster and put up framing/insulation or can I simply plaster over the block as was previously done and call it a day?
If so, how major an impact would this have (not framing out and insulating) on energy costs?
Looking for general thoughts/ideas/observations/pros/cons etc., thanks.
