I was able to catch a flight back by early evening, so I wasted no time in heading to the house!!! Mom picked me up, and we drove right over! I had a goal of getting the wallpaper done in the kitchen and bathrooms over the next two days.
I was thrilled to find that Mom had actually started work on the kitchen! She said it was veeeeeeery slow work! No good! It's amazing the different types of wallpaper paste one comes across in a single house. Some peels off, some stays on. It's crazy!
Upon walking in, I was thrilled to find that my painter had started, too. He had taped the baseboards and started the trim work around the house. Woo hoo!!!
I started at the wallpaper in the kitchen around 7:00 P.M. Dad brought over food, and we worked into the night! The wallpaper was being mostly cooperative with the steamer (worth its weight in gold), but with the smaller areas to work in (above countertops, below cabinets), it was tedious.
I wasn't able to finish the kitchen tonight, but we did get about 90% of it done. I'll have to tackle the rest tomorrow!!! All I have left is above the sink and countertops on the same wall.
I left around 9:15 P.M.
It's so nice to get back during the early evening and gain an extra day of work. Thanks, Mom, for the work done before I arrived, and thanks for the help throughout!!!
Little by little, the project is coming together!!!
