Here are a couple shots of the "New" bathrooms -- the one with the reproduction light fixture is the master bathroom, with it's warm cream paint -- that was the one room that had a fairly nice wallpaper...way back in the day. But after 25 years, it went to hell in a handbasket, and just never recooperated. I think that was the one room where I truly wondered whether or not my arms were going to be attached to my body, after scraping and scraping and SCRAPING off layers of wallpaper.

Tomorrow I'll post the laundry room, where THAT project of removing wallpaper was all Noah's -- he said it was really bad by the time he got to the 4th (!!!!!) layer of wallpaper...not just because it was so dated, but because of all the weird stuff underneath the paper. Lots and lots of teeny nailholes...some larger than others, but just so many of them. Still doesn't make sense to me, but then, there ar e a lot of things that don't make any sense to me.

The room with the spiffy fish shower curtain, is Noah's bathroom -- that room wasn't as bad as the master bathroom, as far as the wallpaper goes. It actually came off pretty easy, but the painting for noah went a little slower, as he had to do a lot more filling in of old holes..one which was an outlet/junction box for some kind of light fixture..the box that surrounds the actual electrical wires, had been sloppy set in to the wall, and all the previous owner did, was cover it up with wallpaper...and there it was, this big LUMP on the wall....that took both Tom & Noah some hammering, re-setting, lots of layers of plaster, and finally the final coats of paint. I don't think Noah realized just how bad that "little" project was going to end up taking. It was so weird when we removed the paper, and looked at this junction box...I won't say what immediately went thru my head, but suffice to say that there were lots of question marks floating around my head...

I also have a project that got finished, plus a blouse that is ready to be stitched --well, the front & back will get stitched tomorrow..today being a holiday, both tom & noah are home from work, so they are for-EVAH interupting me..."MA!!" --"HEYYY>>MAAA!!" --- my last good nerve is just....just...JUST...

Wel -- at least noah has a job for tomorrow -- he has some landscaping to do down Ocean Highway at somebodys house. Tha's all I know...but he's stoked on getting some $$$ --- been over a month since he's had some work, so he was getting a little nervous on paying his bills....yyyeeeekkkssss...

Must run and get some stuff for lunch & dinner....Here's wishing everybody a very safe and fun Memorial Day Weekend here in the states!! -- we have a bbq planed, and I made a HUGE pot of baked beans..Yuumm!! -- lots of fresh onions..smoked maple flavored sausage..yummy bbq sauce with honey...And -- just a touch of some garlic powder..onion powder..black pepper.

Now my stomach is growling...

Yikes!!
