Keeping The Economy Going

Posted by Liz Tuesday Sep 30, 2008

img_2755.jpg Well we’re doing our part.  On Thor’s day off today he picked up a console table that is great for our living room.  It is narrow enough that you can still walk past it, and our stuff just fits on it.  We might put another under the living room window, although I was hoping for something with bigger drawers that we could keep games in.  Now we’re going to keep our eye out for a bench with storage underneath in that area instead.

img_2760.jpg Some cheap and free physical labor was done today.  Thor finished scraping the wall paper in the bottom half of the closet.  Unfortunately this is probably the easiest part since the rest is over eye level and on the ceililng.  Yes, they even wall papered the ceiling.

 

Good-bye fake wood wall paper, Hello ugly walls

Thor spent his off hours this week stripping the wall paper off the closet in the front bedroom.  He has been painstakingly using a steamer and scraper to get it off.  By the end of the first day his arm began to have sympathy for mine after scrubbing down the door jams.  I sent a lot of positive encouragement his way.  Soon we may actually be able to put something inside it.
