We are nearly three quarters finished with our dining room wall restoration project. Scoring and scraping, scoring and scraping, spackling and painting. A great task for obsessives, I do not have the greatest attention span, as Maria keeps pointing out, I keep wandering off to take a photo, go for a walk, write on the blog, listen to music or read. I can’t really focus on anything for more than a few minutes, Maria works like a beaver, continuously and ferociously. I married well.

Tonight, we  hope to scrape the last wall, the room is taking shape beautifully. My arms are sore from scraping, but happy sore.
