You may know from Wendy's blog and other info that we are trying to take down wallpaper. It is only one wall, so it could be worse. If one is like me, I lament that I did not do something earlier. We have talked about changing the room ever since we have been in the house, but due to lack of initiative, time, or money we never did anything.
Now circumstances have put us into action. Wendy demanding to get it done! While Wendy and the girls were away I attempted to do some of wallpaper removal. Wendy received a small steamer as a gift. We heard that is a good way to remove the paper. So I gave it a try. I was encouraged at first because it seemed to come off. One small patch. Then the rest came off in shreds.
Wendy has the drive to get the project done. She is doing well too. She has worked while girls are napping. I am amazed at her progress. She had about two panels done when I came home from work. We are somewhat close to the end. Then sand, patch, prime, and paint. Gulp!
I do not enjoy these projects, but I know the outcome will be good. I am not a detailed guy which is needed for wallpaper and paper. I want to get it done in one swipe, not rinse and repeat.
Good new is that I have the perfect wife who will make sure it is perfect.
