My neck and back are still hurty so I slacked off.
Giga however spent a couple of hours cleaning up the remnants of 60+ year old wallpaper glue in the old hutch area.
With the wallpaper and glue off, you can see the age of the plaster and the cracks due to settling and such. There are quite a few more than I expected so obviously the paint on the walls hides quite a lot.
For the most part, the Domicile's plaster walls are a thousand times better than the House of Love III's walls.
The HOL3 walls constantly got new cracks every season.
From the general look of things, the Domicile is a lot sturdier. I'd imagine a lot of it has to do with the poured concrete foundations versus the more flexible (and damp) HOL3 foundation.
Tonight's Hallowe'en so I don't know if I'll do much at all. Perhaps get the last strip of wallpaper under the chair rail down.
