The First Post.

Ray and I are at the house for the weekend, Rita and I are cleaning out bedrooms and Ray has a hell of a job on his hands, plastering walls in the scullery before he paints. It looks horrible in there, but they've stripped down 50 years of wallpaper and dirt. We're learning that a bit of putty probably isn't going to do the job, but mind you this IS our first home improvement project EVAH and we have a lot to learn! We really need to just redo the entire walls with plasterboard, but we're not wanting to spend a lot of money on the scullery since we're going to tear out the big wall between that room and the downstairs bedroom within the next few months. So for now, it just gets a paint job, even if it is going to turn out ugly. But there's ugly, and there's not as ugly, so it's a step in the right direction.

Here are some photos of outside, the surrounding neighborhood, and the scullery while Ray is working on it. The house is going to be twice the size it is now when we're finished.
