Home Improvement

So, as most of you know, Jon is home this week. We decided to finally put to use our giftcards that were housewarming gifts, and we went and bought some paint and some wallpaper removing stuff. Also, as most of you know, nothing is ever simple or straightforward for me. Hehe. So, we start in Kathryn's room; start at the back of the house and work our way forward, right? We started yesterday. First thing we had to do in Kathryn's room was remove the border paper in there. So we mix up the stuff, the wall paper removal stuff, and spray it on there, and scrape it off. Fairly simple, right? Then the plan was to prime her room, since its this ROCKIN bright pink color. But, first, Jon wants to go ahead and peel the paper in the hall, too, since the stuff is already mixed up, right? Ok, whatever. So we spray the paper in the hall, and we start peeling. So far, this is strangely satisfying to me, so I'm having fun with it. And of course, my methods of peeling paper aren't the same as Jon's, so I'm getting on his nerves a bit. It doesn't take long for us to realize that this wallpaper is original; they didn't even paint the walls before sticking it on the sheetrock. What a freaking nightmare, man. We spent all freaking day in that hall yesterday. With that black paper gone, it has definitely lightened up the hallway, even though it looks a bit trashy now, lol. Its finally down, and I pulled the paper down in the kid's bathroom while I was at it, hehehe, but now maybe we can wind back up in Kathryn's room, as was the plan for yesterday. But, one good thing about pulling the paper down in the hall; at least we know it has no paint on the wall, so now we will prime it as well, so might as well do it at the same time, right?? I have a few before pictures, never really remember until we are in the middle of it all, but I will post an update when we are through, for those of you who care ;)
