Y'all thought I was kidding.

But this has become the home improvement project from hell. I've been to Home Depot once, and the local hardware store twice now.

Here's what I looked like about 30 minutes ago when I finally got the FIRST, dammit, FIRST coat of spackling sanded.

Just shoot me now.

Doesn't the DD look clean? Ha. Not for long. I have her up there vacuuming the walls and then dry sponging them. That shirt I was wearing--it's a very very dark green. I may never get the smell of that dust out of my nose, even after having worn the mask. I know you're dying to see the unmasking...


As God is my witness, I'll never strip wallpaper again.
