Up until now, we've been removing, tearing down, and scraping off.
Today, for a change, we started with remodeling. The first task was installing new Fermacell plasterboards on the partition wall in the bedroom. We decided to outsource this job to the professionals, and judging by the amount of hardware they used, it was a smart move.
Small-town life. We dropped by our Norwegian neighbors to thank them for the invitation. They weren't home, but we ended up chatting with their neighbor. She invited us for coffee. We left an hour later, full of local stories and hand-knitted wool socks for Malene.
Awwww, our Norwegian neighbors invited us to grill with them. The hand-made invitation they left in our mailbox is both adorable and slightly disturbing.
It may look like an iPad connected to a water tank, but it's most definitely not. It's a wallpaper steamer which, honestly, is pretty fucking great. What it does is simple: it blasts steam onto the wallpaper until it practically begs you to scrape it off.
It's still hard work, but infinitely more enjoyable and efficient than scraping manually.
Considering we have what feels like 10 square kilometers of wallpaper waiting to be removed -- and how cheap the contraption is -- it was the best ~300 DKK we've ever spent on tooling.
This is what I'd call our testbed. The plan is to make our entire garden to be like this.
For comparison, this what it looked like in the beginning of May:
