Curious George Hangs Wallpaper

Here's how I spent my morning.



We are hanging the long pieces beside the stairs right now. The first strip was 15 feet long. I am standing up on a ladder over the staircase so I can reach the ceiling, and my father-in-law is standing below to do the lower sections.

I was skeptical when Marty told me about rigging this ladder up on the stairs like this, but it really does work. You can see how it's put together better in this picture, which also shows my father-in-law, Gene.



Last night after Anna and Gene went to bed, I painted the risers on the stairs. Even with just one coat, it's a huge improvement. A second coat will make it look gorgeous. I'll do it tonight after people turn in.

Anyway, the wallpapering seems to be going better today than yesterday. I wore my Space Monkey shirt for good luck. So far it seems to be working. We are making good time with the paper beside the stairs, and I feel like I'm really getting the hang of it now.

I also listened to a new mix today, for inspiration, "For Girls Who Choose to Move."

Hm, I guess that would be me.
