the Remodeling begins...

"I noticed the wallpaper in the guest bathroom was starting to peel in one corner."

And so begins our first round of home improvements! We've already ripped out the ugly shower doors, one of the medicine cabinets, the mirror, and about half of the wall paper*. Not bad for our first night!

* Does anyone know how to get off the other half of the wall paper that wasn't so easy??

Yeah on the new House!!!

Rob & I have power tools for when you're REALLY serious about remodelling.

If the wall paper in on paneling, just rip off the paneling and start fresh....otherwise it's time for the scunnci steamer.

Later kids,

I was going to suggest the steamer as well. I'm assuming they used the water proof wallboard, as they should, in the bathroom of course.

Jen / Tim -- Love the house :) As for wall papering... ya, that stuff sucks. Good luck. If you want, I have a sweet home improvement book I could borrow you that explains all the relevant details. Next time I see you I'll bring it if you want...
