Redecorating

Those of us left behind in Pretoria (the Stewarts and Doug have headed back to the States on furlough until late January) are working hard around Pangani, getting things ready for next year. Yesterday, Daleen and Sarah and I got to work stripping all the wallpaper in Room 4... since half of it was falling off and the other half had mold behind it. Lovely. I lived in Room 4 during my apprenticeship year, and though I wasn't terribly attached to the wallpaper, it did feel a bit strange to be tearing it all off the walls...

If it is not too late, a mixture of dishwashing soap and water is best to take the wallpaper off. just play with it to get the mix right.
