Sorry I haven't been posting lately, I have been so busy trying to get these rooms done. On Monday, R&E Cleaning and Restoration came back to check the rooms. Ben 
and Steven's room was deemed dry, but Bethanie and Emily's room wall under the window was still wet. So they had to cut into the dry wall to get that to dry. So while we waited for that to dry we started i

Anyway, so Wednesday I not only finished the first coat of primer, but the second coat as well. I had been painting for about 10 of twelve hours that day. I was bushed!
Today,
Melanie helped me paint the latex coat. We were done by 3pm. I was so happy to be done and that I wasn't painting at 10 tonight!! Thanks Melanie!! Thanks to Mel, Beth, Steven and Emily for helping with the kids so I could paint. I really like the way Ben's room turned out. I wasn't sure how it would look, with the panelling, but the white walls take the room out of the basement! It's a nice room now!!

e bad nightmares about taking wallpaper off. Should I do it, or should I let R&E do it? I started pulling it and it came off so easy, we just kept going. When I did the upstairs, I used the perforation tool, sprayed each sheet, and then pulled it off. Then I had to wash the walls down really good. This time it came off with very little effort, the whole room! I still have to wash the walls but, I was simply amazed!

Once I get started, there's no stopping me!

I finally put the pictures in the Flood post, did you see them?
I did! I can't believe all of that stuff fit in the front room! Wow! Who is that with the girls??
I edited the text in the post as well as added the pictures. That is Alan from R&E. The girls really liked him and wanted to be in his lap, and he liked them enough to let them!
