Nicely, this weekend didn’t go as deliberate. I do know that each venture has its ups and downs, victories and setbacks. However this specific setback was such a disappointment that it actually took the wind out of my sails. Amazingly, I didn’t cry, but it surely positive did make me wish to throw within the towel for a couple of days, particularly with this coming on the finish of per week that had already been mentally, emotionally, and bodily difficult with Matt’s four-day hospital keep.
Anyway, final Thursday, we had some fairly heavy rain. I didn’t suppose something of it, and I didn’t discover something out of the abnormal once I went into the lobby early Friday morning to let Cooper out into this yard.
However about mid-morning, I used to be in my closet on the point of go to lunch, and I rotated and noticed this…
Yep, that’s water injury on my newly put in grasscloth wallpaper. The injury covers two widths of the wallpaper.
As you may think about, my coronary heart sank. The excellent news is that I’ve sufficient wallpaper to exchange these two items. The unhealthy information is that that solely leaves me with two items left for any future emergencies or accidents, and that is awfully early within the recreation for me to must be changing broken wallpaper.
Initially, I wasn’t positive the place the water was coming from. There have been two prospects — the HVAC system within the attic or a leak within the roof. Truthfully, I hoped for the primary one, however I had the HVAC man out on Friday to verify and clear the system, and that wasn’t the issue.
Nope. The offender is the photo voltaic tube skylight, which isn’t even getting used proper now to supply additional lighting wherever in our main bedroom suite, however which remains to be put in within the roof.
I couldn’t get anybody out to repair it over the weekend, and now we’re about to have extra rain at this time. I’m feeling fairly pissed off and deflated proper now. I have to rise up there this morning and a minimum of see if I can discover a non permanent repair till somebody can come and restore it correctly in order that it doesn’t do any extra injury.
Anyway, that set the tone for my entire weekend, and evidently, I wasn’t very productive with any of my different tasks. I do know it’s simply wallpaper, and in the entire scheme of issues, it’s a minor factor. Nevertheless it’s so disappointing to work so arduous at one thing after which see a part of it ruined inside per week or so.
I’m additionally taking a look at choices for sealing grasscloth wallpaper. I do know it may be achieved, and I would check out a couple of choices on these two broken items earlier than I take them down and substitute them. I’ll maintain y’all up to date on which choice (if any) I feel works finest. Or if you realize of any product that works nice for sealing wallpaper (particularly grasscloth), please let me know! I’m open to all concepts proper now.
