Johan and I recently discovered we have another thing in common. We both HATE carpet (at least 40 year old carpet the smells like animal pee) and wallpaper (especially wallpaper stuck to plaster walls - plaster walls that are falling apart!).
In case you haven't guessed yet, we began the demolition process on the house this week! ON Monday, after the appraiser "OK-ed" the house we got to work ripping out the old carpet. My dad had a dumpster at an old job site that was leaving Tuesday morning so in 6 short/long hours we had stripped the entire house of carpet. Three floors, 10 rooms and two overflowing pick-up trucks later we were rid of all carpet.
Wednesday morning we began to tackle the wallpaper. This was not quite as quick! It is turning out to be a painfully, dreadfully, long process, so much so that this thrifty girl is even considering hiring someone to do it!
We are planning on officially owning the house tomorrow the 29th! We are excited that the day is finally here...it seems a bit strange that we will make such a BIG purchase tomorrow...I am a bit anxious about it. Most likely anxious because of all the work that has to be done before we can move it.
I hope to get some pictures posted soon!
