The Price of Copper

I started to try and refurbish the Pierce my sister got at a yard sale last summer. Since I could see that much of the structure had already started to come apart because of poor glue application, I didn't think it would be all that hard.

WRONG.

First, I'm not a fan of tape wire but even if I was, I couldn't have used this. There were so many places where the folds were too bulky to hide under paper or the tape had broken because the house had come apart. I just started ripping (stabbing myself on a few of those brads and driving most of them under my nails).
