Wallpaper stripping nightmare! Renovating the Bedroom of our century Farmhouse! // The homestead #4

Wall paper is a nightmare to take off of walls, especially when it is thick wallpaper paneling. My original plan was to just sand it down a little bit and use drywall compound to cover it, smooth that out and paint over. But then I realised that the wet drywall mud can interact with the wallpaper and create bumps and generally not look good, so I decided to begin peeling the wallpaper back where I could and where I had to. The whole bedroom was covered in three different type of textured wallpaper that was literally from nightmares that I've had. But this is an important job to do so I do it! The quicker I can get the master bedroom done the sooner we can feel like this house is our home, because right now we are still sleeping in the motorhome and we are feeling like we are in limbo as we spend most of our time in the house. (which also leaves poor ronnie alone for much too long.)
The beginning of this video is the always beautiful cup and saucer trail, the fall colors really showing themselves. The song is something I made and its available for free download through this link. Enjoy!

Lyrics :
Ain't life lovely
Ain't life lovely
when your in love b
In love with the world
In love with a girl
Just In love
The world is full of fear, but fear not
The world is distorted
They talk whats reported never what's important
Let's talk about ourselves to the ones around us
The ones who are bound to us
Our friends and family
But I plan to be showing plan A
Step 1 get out the city
Step 2 deal with it
Once you have healed from it help others heal with it

The plants and trees give us the medicine we need
Deep in the forest is where I know this
I notice the mushrooms, the herbs
The seeds the birds, the whole damn world.
It's truth innit
The truth is society stupid
It's stuck on a loop kid
It's broken but who broke it
Doesn't work for us, designed by the past
To hold old money in power till the last hour
But it's not that one sided
We all hurt some just hide it

Ain't life lovely
Ain't life lovely
And if it's not b?
Then leave it to me
See we all have the power in our hands
Just make a plan and together we stand!

Hey let's just do the best we can
Let's tell each other the truth
Let's talk about the problems
Let's take in the beauty instead of walk by
If your feeling low let's get you high

Cause the truth is we all have problems
We live in our feelings yet are told often that they don't matter
what could matter more then the way you feel?
Our days our full of moments with meaning
Explore our inner self and the process of healing

Blessed
I'm feeling blessed
I'm grateful I'm no longer hateful
I make mistakes though
But Ill break through
And I'll take you
To the world of truth
Just take a deep breath and step through.

Cause ain't life lovely
Ain't life lovely
Now Say it with me
Ain't life lovely
