Re - doing the Bedroom

The Dos and Don'ts

Do : celebrate ( w/ beer )
        go slow , b/c there is no fast , outside of hiring someone ( Smart         move ! )
        listen to the paint counter girl - I was right , she was righter

Don't : Start , it never ends

Our Saga
Things are going well ( relatively ). The walls are stripped of wallpaper and all tidbits are off the walls.
The wallpaper glue is still there in places , lots of places. The recommended solution is called Dif. Dif works marvels and smells like chemicals. We sprayed on the Dif to get the backing off the walls from the wallpaper.
Now ,we  go over and remove the glue.
Our dithering begins, Colour. Blue. How blue ? . Only blue ?

TG the ceiling is white and stays white. Counter girl promised 1 coat
high hide. 
I'm enjoying the white look w/ the stripped walls and gluey patches, M not so much.
Apparently , she thinks we should paint. I'm all for stopping now.
The bedroom has a kind of basic , a primitive look, and I think that I could live with it. We'll see who the boss is !!

BTW - apparently , if you whine a lot - someone responds. The ' Loop ' is the access page to the main server website. Before , two weeks ago , the Loop was graphics galore and a hodge - podge of news , fashion , entertainment trivia and living advice. My special complaint was the download time ( forever ). 
I never wrote to Loop but Loop is now cut down and 1 or 2 snaps and then some banners. I'm  not the only one not appreciating the crap on that page. Although , a few banner headlines got reported here.

Weather : This date is our July 1 - Canada day - week end. The DAY falls on Tues. Here in Canada , that means that stores are closed Tuesday ( the real day ) and this means banks etc. and no booze.
However, people are taking 1 - 4 days off from work or going somewhere. So ,Saturday , Sunday and Monday are themselves w/ a whole whack of people gone.
The weather itself goes from humid and warm to very humid and uncomfortable as Tuesday approaches. rain , almost anytime.

The city fathers have discovered when you build roads and railways at the same level as rivers in river valleys when the rivers rise the banks flood. The solutions are all expensive , go figure. The news presenters pointed out that people living on the high side of the river got less flooding. I'm telling you that I'm glad that they figured it out.


Happy Canada Day Week end !!!!
