PERFECT WEATHER

FOR STARTING A PROJECT.

FOR OVER FIVE YEARS NOW I'VE BEEN TALKING ABOUT RE DOING THE MAIN BATHROOM.  I HESITATE TO TELL YOU HOW LONG THIS WALLPAPER HAS BEEN UP. I'LL GIVE YOU A HINT: EMILY WAS TWO YEARS OLD.  I'VE CHANGED THE COLOR SCHEME TWICE, IN MY MIND.  I HAVE EVEN BOUGHT TWO DIFFERENT SHOWER CURTAINS, OF WHICH I WILL PROBABLY  NOT USE EITHER.  RECENTLY I TOLD BRITTNEY THAT THE NEXT TIME SHE VISITED I WANTED HER TO TEAR PART OF THE WALLPAPER, THUS FORCING ME TO GET STARTED.  AFTER SHE VISITED LAST FRIDAY, I CHECKED TO SEE IF SHE HAD OBEYED.  GUESS SHE DIDN'T THINK I REALLY MEANT IT, BECAUSE THEIR WERE NO TEARS.  I DECIDED TO TEAR IT MYSELF,  JUST TO GET ME GOING. 

 WALLPAPER REMOVAL IS THE WORST!

WHEN I TOOK DOWN THE WALLPAPER IN THE KITCHEN,

DORIAN TAUGHT ME TO SPRAY IT HEAVILY WITH WATER,

AND THEN USE A STEAMER.

IT WORKS WONDERS!

DOESN'T THIS LOOK LIKE AN ACCIDENT
JUST WAITING TO HAPPEN?
DON'T WORRY,I COVERED THE OUTLET
 WHILE SPRAYING, AND STEAMING.

ONE WALL DONE!
THE BIG WHITE PATCH IS WHERE,
YEARS AGO, THERE WAS A MEDICINE CABINET.
THE WALLS WILL ALL HAVE TO BE
RE TEXTURED BEFORE BEING PAINTED.

AROUND THE CORNER
AND NOW IT'S TIME TO
REMOVE THE PAPER ABOVE
THE BATHTUB AND SHOWER.

ALWAYS USE AN ANTIQUE CHAIR
WHILE FLINGING STICKY WET PAPER AROUND.
WHAT WERE WE THINKING!

WALLPAPER OFF,
AND THE CHAIR'S NOT TO WORSE FOR WEAR.

THREE WALLS COMPLETED, 
EXCEPT FOR SOME TEDIOUS WORK 
AROUND THE EDGES.
I'VE LEARNED FROM PAST EXPERIENCES,
TAKING DOWN ALL THE MOLDING
LEADS TO LOTS OF PROBLEMS.
I'M DETERMINED TO LEAVE IT UP.
ANOTHER WEEK OF RAIN,
AND THE BATHROOM
SHOULD LOOK LIKE NEW!
