WOODCHIP WOES CONTINUE

Phew!  Managed to get rid of those pesky badgers quicker than the deployment of the Pfizer vaccine so now it’s time to return to stripping wallpaper.

 

Surprise!  It's another badger

Woodchip dominated our new landscape but slowly this has been banished with only the lounge/diner ceilings left to strip.  Easy!  That’s what I thought until I started steaming away only to realise that there were not one but two layers of woodchip on the ceiling.  Aaagh!

 

Buy one get another layer free

Who in their right mind puts two layers of wallpaper on a ceiling?  I mean it’s like wearing multiple pairs of underpants which you would never do unless temperatures fall to below minus 10 or you’re flying Ryanair without a suitcase. 

It’s taken a day and a half to strip the ceiling in the lounge half of this room.  Moggy distractions don’t help progress and this cute little black cat has decided to pop in to supervise proceedings. 


Slow progress stripping the ceiling of wallpaper

Too busy watching birdies to care about DIY

All that birdie TV has left me exhausted
