Thanks to the kindness of friends, I had a massive wallpaper removal day at the house, which also turned into a massive demolition party again. Raymond, Sean, and Kip succumbed to the siren song of free beer and food and spent more than 8 hours stripping wallpaper from the bedroom. Friends are the best, especially when you buy a home with wallpaper in the bedroom.
Kip also ripped out the stupid arch the former owners built into the doorway leading to the bathroom. Remember about 15 years ago when there was a shortage on nails? It was because the former owners purchased all the nails and used them in framing up the stupid arch. With a hammer, a crow bar, and lots of determination, Kip showed that arch who was boss! Woohooo!
So, now I have a bare concrete slab in the bedroom, walls that are mostly wallpaper free, exposed wiring and insulation on parts of the walls, and some drywall repairs to make. I just want to make sure I have it ALL stripped and bare and as destroyed as possible before I start to fix things.
Next update: selecting tile for the floor. Oh the agony!
