Lots of work to do today! I finally got finishing priming the siding and painted it the color it is supposed to be.

Then Jimmy had to put the front wall on for me so that I can prime the inside and begin wallpapering. Of course, he put the upper dividing wall in backwards, and had to take it back out, LOL! Once he has the walls installed, he puts a line of caulk into it where the rough edges are to give me a smooth line to wallpaper on. Makes life a whole lot easier and is much easier to do instead of using wood filler there--no sanding involved in caulking.

Jimmy is finishing up the caulking by installing a line outside the house where the roof peaks meet the side walls of the house. While I am preparing to wallpaper, Jimmy decided to find a pencil to draw lines on the roof with for the shingles. I began by wallpapering the kitchen first. I like to use Prepz border prep & adhesive.

First I lay the wallpaper onto the wall and crease it so that I will know where to cut it. The wallpaper for the kitchen is a pre-pasted wallpaper, which I tend to like better because it goes in easier and doesn't rip as easy as plain paper wallpaper. Next I put adhesive onto the walls and the wallpaper using a foam brush.

Then I lay the wallpaper onto the walls, giving a slight overhang onto the next wall, and I use a dry washrag to smooth it down. I then put the paper on the second side wall, and put the paper on the front wall last. Once it dries, I will cut out the window holes and trim it down on the edges.

Next, I begin wallpapering the livingroom. Because the wallpaper for the livingroom is not a pre-pasted or vinyl paper, I only put the adhesive on the walls. I do not put it on the paper.
