We finally got fed up with living with a hall that had no wallpaper or paint, and no carpet, and so last week we summoned the Carpet Man to measure up and quote for the hall, stairs and landing, and through into the bathroom. Amazingly, we discovered that it was affordable, and so we booked him for today.
Which meant that we had to strip the rest of the (1970s blown vinyl) wallpaper, prepare the walls, etc over the weekend.
I don’t think two small kittehs have ever had a better time. They’re not normally allowed to remove wallpaper, but look! Blobs are doing it! Oh hai – we can do it too!
They killed small pieces of paper. They got in the rubbish bags. They got up the ladders. They got put in a cat carrier when they tried to get in the paint tray. Ron is currently not entirely black, but has just the odd fleck of sophisitcated grey paint on his normally ebony fur.
And then things got even better … the side panel came out from the bath, and they could get underneath. Cobwebs! Dustbunnies! You can’t see me!
They’re entirely worn out now, which is just as well, as in half an hour, here comes CarpetMan and they’ll have to be shut innabox again.
