Time to scrape the walls...


Our giant dumpster did not arrive as expected today so we had to put off the demolition for another day. We decided to start the looooong process of getting rid of the wallpaper. There were many layers of wallpaper, paint, lemon creme, more paper, etc. The dining room was actually not that bad despite four hours of spray, spray, scrape, scrape. repeat.

The living room is proving to be more difficult. We only got part of one wall done before we had to call it quits. I did get a tip for a special "recipe" that involves downy fabric softener to remove paper. Will try that the next time. Have to go back to work tomorrow so Pete will get to start demo on his own.
