Stripping update (brown-chicken, brown-cow!)

The wallpaper is stripped from the craft room! I finished it this weekend. Got a great facial from it. Now to wash them...

One of the walls in the craft room may end up having to be redone completely. It's the one on the back wall with the door to the 3-season. While removing the chair rail, a large chunk of the plaster came off with one of the nails (completely not ~D's fault). I tried cleaning the hole out a bit so that we can patch it, and we found that the plaster is pretty much coming away from the lath across almost the whole wall. If we do have to redo it, it'll entail re-insulating because all we have is blown-in cellulose, and as soon as the lath comes down, the insulation'll come out. Boss #1 sent me a link on a method for re-adhering plaster to lath so we might try that first. Fortunately, all of the other walls look okay.

So the plan at the moment will be to at the very least get the other walls in that room done, so we can get the furniture back against the walls and have more working space for the problem one.

And right now, the bathroom sits. Maybe I'll feel a bit more motivated once I start washing the craft room walls to try the TSP in there again.

We did get a couple new light fixtures, though. A 5-light track for the craft room (we just have to make sure we have wiring that is rated high enough temp.-wise) and a 3-light fixture for the bathroom in an antiqued bronze. That one'll be easy to do.
