On hold.....

Here it is Friday and I am again waiting for wallpaper to be delivered to complete a job. Yesterday I got to my job and after testing the "stripability" of the old paper, I decided the best course of action was patching all holes and priming over the old paper. The electrician and tilers had done a number on various areas of the walls so there was a lot of spackling to be done. This made for a slow-paced day but "it's work". Left for home at 3:00 and still no wallpaper. Called decorator when I got home and still "no paper" and UPS delivers late afternoon so I know I won't be working on this job again for a few days.

Wednesday I went on an estimate for a VERY LARGE McMansion in Clifton which will be a Showhome before it is lived in by the builder. Great way to write your house off your taxes as advertising.

I called the wallpaper store to give them the amounts of paper to order and they questioned my figures. The only thing I can figure is they are talking in double rolls and I am talking in single rolls and they come up with half the amounts. I wish the companies would make a change so it would clear up this confusing issue.

Maybe today will be the day that I actually get brave enough to list something on e-bay and start selling some of the things in all these boxes that are taking up my precious space. It's not really being brave as much as taking the hours needed to figure out new things and get started. Usually after the initial confusion it is a piece of cake. We'll see!!!!!
