They will need to remove the 15 year old wallpaper and may have to retexture depending on the condition of the walls. My job is to remove everything except the computer desk so they can paint. This wouldn't be quite so bad if I didn't have a 40 year collection of glassware stored here. I'm slowly moving it in to another bedroom. Of course after two years, it all needs to be washed before I put it back on the new bookcases I bought. Someday when I hit the lottery it is going to be in sealed cases!
Let's see - today is Friday and they start painting Monday - yikes! I know what I'm going to be doing tonight and tomorrow. But it will be awesome when it is done. I will try to get more pics of the process for your viewing pleasure.
On the knitting front I've finally finished the first Embossed Leaves sock in Sanguine Gryphon Bugga. While I love the yarn, for some reason this pattern went slowly for me. I started it as part of a Bugga KAL but everyone else finished long ago. And with the new Harry Potter set to open I am rushing to finish some new socks in Sunshine Yarns Gryffindor. Not sure whether I'll make it but I'll give it my best shot! Yes, I am a geek.
And now, back to moving glassware.

My teacup collection comes off the shelves at least twice a year for a bath. We have gas heat, and things start to get furry after six months. Shifting and handwashing everything gives you a chance to admire and pet your pretties. You will enjoy this so much when it's all done.
Your daughter and boyfriend are champions! What color is the office going to be? Lots of photos, please! And photos of the glassware as well?
Wow-- I love the gryffindor socks! And the embossed leaves too! And I can't wait to see what happens with the office! (Nicole rocks!)
