I have done so much stripping this week; my whole body hurts!

[LaraMN]

Wallpaper SUCKS!
Also, paneling SUCKS!

I am burning way more calories working on my house than going to the gym EVER does!

People who lived through the wood-paneled-wall era of decorating; was there some mass-psychosis going on at that time that resulted in putting that shit up seeming like a good idea?

:P

1. Is the hubby OK...???

I was worried.

[LaraMN]

10. He's doing very well!

He went back to work last week and is handling it well, aside from getting really tired. He has to "think very hard," in order to get his hand to do what his brain is trying to tell it to. He's going in on Thursday for a sleep study, as they also noted in the hospital that his sleep apnea seems to have gotten pretty bad. Hopefully they can help him address that, and he'll feel even better! Thanks for asking!

2. I hear you! I am still sore from scoring on Saturday

stupid tile! lol

yeah, we have a room we call the "wood panel nightmare" and some other aesthetic nightmares in our "more fixer than upper" house. I've slowly been doing room by room, but the nightmare room is last on the list.

[LaraMN]

11. What kind of tile did you put in?

Our kitchen is on the dockett for this summer, and my husband's tentatively planning on replacing the crappy linoleum with ceramic tile. I'm sure it will be an adventure.

[unpossibles]

16. it's a lot of work but not too bad

we went with a 12" ceramic floor tile that has a rough stone look to it.

[LaraMN]

21. Cool!

I bet it looks great! I love tile.

[unpossibles]

29. I'll post pics soon (I hope)

my goal is the end of the month, as we have some friends coming into town the last weekend.

I'm pretty "done" with it now though, although there's still a lot to do...

[underpants]

3. Useless without a pic

[LaraMN]

13. Yeah- I'll get right on that.

If I ever find my camera in the moving mess.
:P

[NC_Nurse]

30. I'm glad your husband's better.

I hadn't seen you around and was wondering...:hi:

[soleft]

4. I feel a wave of copycats coming on.

:)

[LaraMN]

14. One can only hope!

:bounce:

[trof]

5. Gee, you're taking it off and I'm putting it on.

Painting some doors.

[LaraMN]

15. Why does primer smell like baby diarrhea?

:P

[edbermac]

6. Take it off...take it ALL off!

[LaraMN]

17. In every room of the house...

just about...

[bicentennial_baby]

7. I missed you, sista

:hug:

:loveya:

[LaraMN]

18. Yay!

Good to be missed!
I missed DU sumpin' awfuls!

[bicentennial_baby]

20. We all missed you bunches!

But now you're back! :bounce:

Say hi to my darling Jack!! :hi:

[LaraMN]

23. I will. He's beating on his door with matchbox cars.

We moved him into a "big boy bed," and now he won't nap.
:banghead:

[rug]

8. Well, I'm frazzled from pulling out

all those turkey feathers. Butterball for me next time.

[LaraMN]

19. Ew! What a mess!

All that lead-up for five minutes of bliss.

[Guava Jelly]

9. Man...I thought this was a sex thread..

:mad:

[LaraMN]

25. You don't say...

:D

[AllegroRondo]

12. At least you got lots of dollar bills, right?

[LaraMN]

26. If they papered the walls with that,

I wouldn't be nearly as pissed.

[zanne]

22. I just finished my kitchen...

Well, me and four other people just finished my kitchen. We had half-paneling/half-wallpaper. It took three weeks to get all the paper and glue from the paneling off. (It was vinyl paper, but not the "peelable" kind). The wallpaper borders are ungluing and just hanging there. I've been through two cans of paste. At this point, I don't care what the hell it looks like--I just want it done!

[LaraMN]

27. Three weeks?!

Don't scare me. I've got a half painted-paneling, half ugly-ass wallpaper kitchen, too...
:scared:

[zanne]

32. Don't worry...

We didn't work on it all the time and it's a big kitchen.

[undeterred]

24. You really should stay stripped for a while to let your body recover.

[LaraMN]

28. No time for that!

I require prompt results and satisfaction!

[idgiehkt]

31. There you are.

It seems like you have been AWOL forever and people were starting to wonder if you'd gone into witness protection or something. :hug: :hi:

33. This thread needs some raunchy sax music.

:P
