Have I mentioned that we're getting new kitchen cabinets and counters? Well, the cabinets are Sears - a mixture of semi-custom and refinished. As long as we're doing that, we're also going to put down new seamless linoleum flooring and paint the walls.
Today, with the help of
bernesemntdog and Don (WINOLJ), we tore off the old wallpaper. Due to a combination of good prep-work on the part of the original paperers and age, it came off easily and in big sheets. Now we'll have to do some sanding, and maybe some surface fill-in work, and we'll be able to paint. But we aren't doing that until after the the cabinets and counters are in.
We should be getting a call this week or next week to schedule cabinets and counters installation. It should take three or four days, they like to start on Mondays.
My father is going to help us put in the flooring - he's going to be the smarts, and we're going to be the strong backs and weak minds. That should be happening before the end of the month.
I'll see about having some pictures along the way.
