it has been a couple of days since I last wrote ... I think it is because I have been spending very little time at the computer ... every morning this week David and I have gotten up ... gotten our stuff together ... gone to Home Depot and then to the condo to work ... so far we have stripped all the wallpaper in the dining room and kitchen, cleaned and sanded the walls ... spackled all the holes and the areas under the paper where they never painted ... tomorrow we will do some light sanding and prime the walls ...


once we moved the cabinets out of the kitchen we found out that is was just drywall under the wallpaper and that they hadn't put on a coat of paint ... we also found out that they put the flooring down around the cabinets so there was a big hole that had some really old flooring down and cement ... so today we bought new vinyl flooring which is just great ... it looks like white tile squares with grey grout and smaller black squares in the corners of the bigger white squares ... it is great and it matches the kitchen wonderfully ... since the cabinets are white
