The snowball effect on this old house is that when you decide to do a big project...the destruction just keeps rolling, This was the day we uncovered the sun room floor -pulling the carpet. It feels like we have been pulling carpet - vinyl and staples from the floor for about a month...oh yeah. We have been!
Of course the new flooring will go all the way down the basement stairs so we had to pull the final blue shag off the steps. It revealed that the paneled wall was "firred out" and that the stairs ran underneath it. The paneling was cut to form to the carpet and left impossible trim options so it came off the wall too. (Ah more pink and brown brick - how lovely)
It then dawns upon me that these once wall papered walls still have the glue on them.. Do I really want all the water and TSP solution on new vinyl... uh NO - so these get washed.
At this point I am looking for a volunteer to wash the walls but apparently she thinks pointing the camera is a better job for her. (She actually was pulling staples and nails out of the sunroom floor - we really do make a great team)
And You might as well paint those walls now - so I did - but did not take pictures yet!
This is my hobby distraction from home repair. A couple of the Angel fish have paired up and have begun laying eggs. Of course Clown loaches like fish eggs for breakfast - So I purchase a use aquarium and set it up for Angel breeding - we will see how they do.
