How much smoke and how much burn? Is it anywhere close Billy? I wouldn't mind taking a look at it to see if I think it is worth messing with or not if it isn't too far away.... I grew up doing fire/flood restore. Anything can be fixed, but cost is another story.

wow what a nice offer. Its in downtown dallas, so its a ways away from you. if you can find time to get away I'd take you to a lunch of your choice. If not, I totally understand and still thank you for the offer

1920's is probably mesh. The Tulsa house was lats instead, but it was built in '37. Mesh is a even bigger PIA.

Also Buz, it likely is plaster and will have lats under it. That shit is heavy as hell and a significant bitch to remove. We filled a huge roll off with it in Tulsa and it busted the sidewalks getting it hauled off. Also remember that you have to have a ramp to wheelbarrow into the roll off, or you have to lift every ounce of that stuff. Usually 2-3 times the work a first timer estimates it to be.

One time was enough for me, and it was less than 1000 sq ft before we added on.

the house is on a big hill, about 20-30 feet of stairs so that could be a huge problem if all that stuff has to come out. Im pretty sure there is a wire mesh behind the filler

Are you sure they're not plaster? Regardless, plaster and stucco are both porous. There's still lumber of some sort inside those walls, too. There could be big damage inside those plaster/stucco walls that you will never know about unless they're torn out to do other work (like electrical or plumbing).

The spooks and ghosts' would be the least of my concerns, and I don't like spooky shit.

Might be plaster all I know is the shit is thick as hell. Thank you for your input, gives us more to think about

[Vertnut]

all the interior walls are stuccoed so I assume with damage those walls have to come out? if so I can only imagine the work involved in all of that

I would purchase this house especially because someone died in it.

The writing on the wall is a nice bonus.

I say get it before I do.

[War Machine]

I have no idea how much it would take. I'll tell you this: I leveled one down to slab (leaving just 2 massive fireplaces/chimney's) that didn't look much worse. You will likely NEVER get the smoke odor's out of the walls/ceiling/floors without tearing it all out. Along with a fire comes water damage, too, and there's no telling how far that goes until you start tearing stuff out. The water damage is often worse than the fire damage.

You might be farther ahead to demolish it and start from scratch. Then you don't have to worry about the fire damage, past death issues, foundation, and all that. Fresh start for the property.
