hmmmm

i think weve finally picked out the colours. now the walls are being scrubbed down with bleach. FUN. smells just FANTASTIC. all the wallpaper is off, the mildew is being bleached away, all thats left now is to fill in the cracks, sand everything down a bit, and PAINT!! WOOHOO!!!!! oilbased undercoat to help keep the waterdamage from seeping through, and a mould resistant topcoat. wont THAT be fun. not to mention trying to seal up the open fireplace.

truly, this room is much more difficult than ours was. if it werent for the expense, id try and convince hubby to get a builder in to make sure its all good. as it is we have to wait till mum is out and were renting it from her, cause then all repairs are tax deductible.

ugh. grargh.
