Weekend Work

     This weekend was a work weekend for us, with a goal of getting all the wallpaper removed from our dining & living room area. We had some volunteer help from a brother in law and combined with Ian's amazing work ethic, we reached our goal! Hooray!!

     The two rooms are open to each other, as you can see below, so it made most sense to do them at the same time.

This was taken standing in the living room looking into the dining room, the day before we signed papers.

Here is what it looked like on Friday when we started. We were fortunate and had a work day right after we bought the house & some amazing friends from church had already removed wallpaper on walls.

And here it is this morning. Ian spackled, all that is left is smoothing it out and we can prime & paint.

Our little house is a lot of work, but I am learning that just because it's a lot of work doesn't mean it's not worth it. And don't let me fool you, Ian has done bulk of this last weekend's work. He is a hard worker and I am very thankful for him!

This was Friday, as you can see on the right there was some removal prior to us moving in. I don't have a picture from today... the kids destroyed the living room. Maybe when I clean up I'll get a picture, maybe!
