this too shall pass...

Yep, that's my mantra for the day. Seven hours of work. See before and after shots below. This chore is really starting to annoy me. I cannot use a scoring tool because the wallpaper layer is so thick that the blades do not reach the adhesive. So it's a dry scrape...scrape...scrape...sounds like a horror movie. Well in my world, IT IS. Absolute horror. I figure I have at least another three days to get this room wallpaper free, two to remove the first layer (HOPEFULLY, since this is the high risk portion of the task) and one to remove the adhesive. My hands/wrists are a wreck. Funny thing, I have a trackpad with my Mac, not a mouse. Typically it takes more effort to push that thing than a mouse. I just sat down to write this entry and the trackpad feels effortless. After four days of scraping wallpaper, I have man hands!!  Now there's a perk to home remodeling. :/

I already need a break and I am just getting started. Sweet.
