Back to the Grind - er, Scrape

Back to the grind - or maybe I should say, back to the scraping and painting. I am working on the bedroom again. Scraping the wallpaper and underlying paint off the walls. I've got about 3/4 of it done now. Mel helped me a bit this evening, working on the higher up wallpaper. I was amazed. I scraped and scraped, swept up the floor twice and then scraped again. Mel came in, grabbed the scraper and swish, swish, swish - he had scraped off in about 5 minutes almost as much as I had in over an hour. I guess that is manly strength at work. He has promised me he will do the rest of the higher up stuff, so what you see on the wall in this photo he'll take off for me.Next will be the primer. Then the paint. And then the whitewash on the rest of the ceiling.

I am amazed at how tired this makes me. :):)
