Demolition Woman

While prepping for the mudding and sanding process, I went around the livingroom and scraped off any little tid bits of wall paper that were left behind aka i-think-i-know-how-it-feels-to-have-arthritis-now.



This included getting behind the door frame where there was a whole strip of floral wallpaper just hanging out in there. NOTE: this is an old picture, you can see that the wall is still there through the doorway but it'll give you an idea of what I was doing. Also note that the only wallpaper left at this point was the one strip in the corner by the door jam.



So, I pried off one trim board... then another... then another... before I knew it, drywall was flying everywhere and I was standing in a mess.



Then I gave JC my best "oh my, look what I've done" face. Not that he didn't know what I was up to to begin with but he agreed to be my partner in crime and wrestle out the door jamb.
Eureka, a wider doorway:



We were planning on leaving the doorway the way it was but JC didn't stop me when I went buckwild on that sucker so I took it as his sign of approval. Happy wife = happy life.
