Remodel Update

One of the things that is interesting when doing a remodel job on an old house is to see the things inside or behind a wall. Haven't found any riches yet (most likely won't) but have found some u-g-l-y wallpaper. This is the little strip of wall behind the front door (that we painted on July 4th!). Now that the paint and whatever else was ripped off, here's some lovely old wallpaper. I want to say this crap was on the wall when we moved in 23 years ago. The whole house was wallpapered with HUGE printed wallpaper; although this is small print. I just remember it was something very similar to this in the hall.

I've never seen this wallpaper below before. It was behind the mirror in the bathroom. The bathroom was papered in something else (think huge goldfish) when we moved in. But I don't like this either.

This shot is looking in through the foyer hall into the bathroom. The toilet is now sitting in the bathtub temporarily.

This next shot is looking through what used to be my hall coat closet. The one that had the mold in it.

They removed the dehumidifier machines this morning. We were becoming used to the loud humming noise they made and jokingly asked the restoration people if they could leave them because we didn't think we could sleep without them! HAHA

This is our view coming out of our bedroom down the hall. We have a slim (and I mean slim) walkway to get to the den. If we push our butts up against the plastic we can get through no problem.

This is our view from the den. The doorway has a zipper in it! Sugar (our Jack Corgi) has finally figured out she can slip through the bottom zipper part if we don't zip it all the way. She can't stand not being with us when we go back to our bedroom. If we don't want her back there we put up the old trusty baby gate. The cat hasn't been so adventurous. Although he has been doing weird things whenever the workmen are in the house. He's been trying to climb into open cabinet doors in the kitchen whenever I get in there and he went behind the dryer the other day. First time he's ever done that.
