Tear Down This Wall (and Wallpaper)

I stripped the wallpaper and covered a plaster ceiling with drywall in this house over 18 months ago.  They called me back to strip the wallpaper off their guest bedroom walls and do some major repairs in their dining room.


If you pressed on 2 of their dining room walls, you could feel the plaster move.  It was not attached much at all.  I have no idea how the walls survived our wallpaper stripping from 18 month ago.  There were also some awful foam tiles on the ceiling. 

Here is what it looked like when we got there to start the work:
Then we tore down two walls to make them look like this:
Then we rebuild the ceiling and walls with drywall and painted them.

The guest bedroom had rather difficult wallpaper to remove.  You can't really tell from this photo...
...but you may be able to see the trouble we had in this photo:
Here are 2 pictures of the finished look:
