This was a day of great success but little news. We successfully stripped a very hard-to-remove wallpaper from two walls, one of them 12 feet high and ended up with a great deal of satisfaction.
On a more depressing note, while eating a poached egg on toast I noticed something hard in my mouth and it turned out to be a significant chunk of one of my molars, so I'm very much afraid I am in for a long, painful, and very expensive session or two with the Doctors Bardonner, DDS when I get back to Columbus.
We started promptly by hanging some wetting sheets first thing and getting that paper off after it had soaked all through the breakfast process. We immediately hung rather more wetting sheets and then Jean & I went for our usual 40 minute walk, getting quite warm as the temperatures have come roaring back up and it was sunny. After a lengthy removal session we again hung the sheets and let the wetting happen during the whole lunch process. Our next "kill time while wetting happens" sessions involved a trip Pete and I took a very interesting nearby Harbor Freight Tools store which made me very envious that my nearest one is all the way up to Indianapolis! Our last session, and some clean-up, was completed right about 7:00 PM and we decided to eat out, but not until after Peter had lain down for a while to get over one of the several discomforts which periodically ail him. We went to a Mexican restaurant where the food was excellent and the service - wasn't! However, we were too hungry to care and enjoyed ourselves anyway.
