One Reason for my Absence, Part 1

This is the remaining ugly vinyl wallpaper. We removed it last weekend.

It is not a quick and easy project as you will see.

Here is a picture of the layers of wallpaper. Our home was built in 1870 and it was never painted, only wallpapered, over and over.

Here, my beloved Peaches is stripping wallpaper.

This is the bare horsehair plaster which is used throughout the house.

This is post-patching the walls. The original horsehair plaster has so many holes, scrapes, and cracks, it took us a couple hours to patch it.
