ANOTHER PROJECT BEGINS

We've - rather Jerry - has begun another project that might keep him busy until the grass is green and needs mowing. He is stripping the wallpaper from the kitchen and possibly from the family room, if all goes well. He searched online and found a "product" called "Simple Strip" which is supposed to make the project "simple"!! :) He plans to work slowly and carefully. The product, which was shipped from the United Kingdom, seems to work well. He received a package of some white strips which he has to soak in a bucket of the special liquid, place the paper on top of the wallpaper and spray with a specially provided liquid that dissolves the wallpaper paste. A "scorer" was included in the package which was actually the first step of the process. He says it was much easier than stripping the bedroom paper. So, we'll see how the rest of it goes.

Umm - pictures 2 and 3 are reversed! While they are posting correctly, when I'm importing them, all I see is "print gibberish". So I was unable to see what I was doing or to put an explanation of each picture.
