I
began to mop the walls down. I will need to go over properly with the
cloth by hand and include the ceiling, but this 'first swipe' will do
the job before I rip the linoleum out. I also had to clean the built
in robe before climbing inside it to clean it properly later - so
used the mop for this task also.
The
bedroom now looks sorry for itself, also empty, ugly and a few more
unpleasant words. The thought of it looking beautiful again and me
living in it once more appealed enough for me to begin ripping out
some of the linoleum after lunch, though. I could not get much
further than a third of the room due to it being rather noisy - I
figured I ought to stop being noisy at noon, as my son sleeps
afternoons and works nights.
It
was not a simple case of rolling it up either - I rolled/ripped one
area, and had to tread it down to keep it from springing back open -
and found more linoleum underneath! However, I am happy to report
that the floor boards look in good condition and that I have a vivid
imagination - able to imagine the luxurious carpet and beautiful
furnishings I hope to install - 'shortly'.
The
next day I got back to work and managed to rip out all the linoleum -
GOING...
going...
GONE!
