After the removal of the thermostat electrical boxes was well under way, I started on removing the actual heaters. This is the one from the spare bedroom.

The is actually the one from the dining room after the heater is removed. Now to 1) sand paint edge there the heater had been painted around over the years, 2) fill the screw holes from where they are attached and the wire came out of the wall, 3) Patch up the missing baseboard!

There they are! All seven removed and ready to go to Habitat for Humanity.

Well here we are two months later, and I finally got back at the clean up.
This is the master bedroom, the holes filled, and painted. Colour doesn't match well and the carpet does not go up to the wall underneath where the heater was. The paint colour was sampled 7 years ago when we moved it, based on a Home Depot machine at that time.

This is the living room, with one coat of plaster fill.

This is the laundry, where the new baseboard is in place. Again the paint is not good (in real life it is not as bad as it looks).The new baseboard is about 1/8th inch thicker than the old stuff. If I didn't have a jointer we would be hooped and having to replace all the base boards. Likely in the whole house. This 23 1/8th inch long base board took 8 trips to the basement where the wood shop is.

The patching in of base boards continues.

Note the hammer! I do not remember the last time I drove a nail, any nail, in anything. The air compressor is just too heavy for me to truck it up and down the stairs these days. There is a strip of the carpet missing, where the installers didn't push it right back to the wall under neath the heater..
