The Saturday Report from Dallas

I still haven't done anything about my computer, primarily because I have just not had time.  I have either been stripping wallpaper, doing laundry or transporting the kiddos to their various activities all week.
Holly got the bright idea that we were going to strip all the wallpaper in the five bathrooms.  She has now amended that down to three; and, if the truth be known, if she could start over, I don't think she would strip any of them.
What a job!.  As she said earlier today, reminisicent of the maid in "The Help" who says, "Me and that pleated dress is NOT on good terms,"  Holly confessed that she and the wallpaper in the powder room bath " is also NOT on good terms." 
It has proved to be the "wallpaper from hell'!  Holly has tried everything to get it to turn loose and she still is having just to scrape most of it off piece by piece.
Today the three kiddos were stipping one of the Jack & Jill baths while I was trying to get the underlayer of paper off the other.  They are good workers so long as they don't start bickering off what song to listen to or who gets to use which stripping tool.
We are on a major deadline to have the house ready for them to move in on June 30 because the house they are leasing is re-leased to another family effective July 1.  So, don't expect to hear a lot from me over these next three weeks as we are all pushing ourselves hard.

I think the steamer is a necessity and I hope the AC is working.

You took the words right out of my mouth. I was going to say something about elbow grease.

I don't think "luck" is going to help us much at this point! It is just "elbow grease" that will solve the problem.

Sorry youngster but these old eyes can't take the very light green :O)

Have you tried a hand-held steamer?

That is our next move.
