W.D.S part two

Continuing our theme of despising wallpaper, or removal of, here are some pictures from the working bee last weekend.

In the kitchen, with CC and Boris, where they took on not one vinyl wallpaper, not just the lovely picnic scene shown previously here, but TWO, the other being this beautiful wood panelling number.
This was the worst room, and the one I made the biggest mistake on. I thought it was going to be beautifully well behaved wallpaper like the shiny front room, so left it til last.

...After the working bee..

It has been the wallpaper from hell!!!!! It has ended up being a four day job, possibly more... I can't remember anymore. We just spent yesterday scrubbing of the last bits of adhesive residue, so, maybe more.
A nice shot of all the crap we've had to clean up, though not as bad as the pink room, where half the render had to come off as well.
The games room finishing getting undercoated. We've got a baby hanging out with his cousin twice removed (?) (we call her Aunty) his Nana painting away and another 'Aunty' cutting in. That room is now looking pretty good! Haven't narrowed down what colour it will be as yet.

We have almost finished the wall prep ourselves, and need some plastering work done, and then it's back into it - painting!
