Tearing Down the House-part 1

Well, it is time to strip all the wall paper and pull up two floors.  This first picture is the first floor living room (right).  I can not find where the wiring from the first floor connects to the second floor.  I will have to strip ALL the walls to find the connection.  Only the living room lights work.  It has changed what I plan to do first.  Stripping all the wall paper is first.  Some rooms are easy (3 so far)  to strip, the room on the second floor left is a tuff one.  My shoulders are really sore.

This is the first floor middle room.  It was a snap to strip and the floor is beautiful.

 

This is the kitchen on the first floor left.  Nancy wants the floor to be ripped up and a white tile floor laid down. The wallpaper was so-so to take off.  The floor is sort hard to take off-but it is almost off.

This is the second floor far left room.  It is really tuff to get the wallpaper off.  But, I have kept at it all day.  The rest of the rooms are going to be tuff to strip too.  When I am finished stripping, I am going to prime all the bare wood walls.  It preserves the dollhouse and makes the wall paper stay on better.

I am working on stripping several rooms at a time.

Be back in a couple of weeks.

On Your Mark, Get Set, GO !!

I have no pictures, but the restoration on the Bostonian is offically beginning.  I know what Nancy wants and am ready to get started.  The electrical system is fried-so it will have to be completely replace.  Nancy has dicided to ad a few new details that will make the Bostonian stunning.  The first few pictures will be boring, but stay tuned, it will just get better and better. Will be in touch Monday or Tuesday.
