A few first goals

It is difficult to think of 101 things to do, frankly.  The first 30 were easy, and the next 20 were sensible, and then it started to require significantly broader thinking.  Having always been a fan of things that refer to themselves, an easy goal to add was "finish the list."  Fittingly then, that is the first goal I crossed off.  It was an alarming 21 days after I started the list.  I had better pick up the pace if I am to finish these up!

I also lit a bunch of tealights and took a bath.  It was too tempting to try out the tub in my new house to wait until the list was finished.  However, I don't mind doing it again before crossing it off, so I can take a photo.  My bathroom has cool new paint, so the photo will look neat.  Which brings me to my "Strip wallpaper and paint walls" goal.  That one is well underway (thanks to my childhood friend, Sharon Gunderson).  Unfortunately, in between "strip wallpaper" and "paint walls" there emerged a previously unforseen step "scrub mold off walls." 

For now I am delaying formal mold remediation, after having read some gripping materials on dual-moisture barriers, and concluding that the possibility of condensation beneath the wallpaper was not negligible.  I have, however, also contacted a roof maintenance person.  Ahh, home ownership.  This is only the beginning I am quite sure.
