Progress…

Well…after waking up and feeling sore as I have in a while, I really never entertained taking the day off to heal…so, after a good bike ride, I get started on removing the leftover wallpaper backing and adhesive in the big bedroom…and 3 1/2 hours and 3/4ths of a gallon of wallpaper stripper later, that part of the job is done and making progress made me notice the pain a little less…not completely, but a little less but I do have to pay attention to how my body is reacting to all of the work…as you know, I’m not young anymore and just powering through a full day’s work on this place just isn’t in the cards…it is nice to have a clear path to finishing the room and that starts with hitting the sloppy patches with my grinder Monday to see what has to be done to smooth them and make them less noticeable…I may start with my sander first just to see if I can smooth them without spreading dust everywhere….I may start on filling the divots tomorrow since that takes little work and I can even sit on a stool while I do the low ones…but, I’m done for the day…I do have to remember that I’m not trying for perfection on the wall surfaces…just clean and better than it looked before…again, the next owners are the ones who can shoot for perfection….or they can live with my work…I’ll be dead so I won’t care….
