emotional investment in our paneling LOL!  But there is to his comfort and routine.  He is NOT happy to have all the furniture moving around, his papers (read: piles of clippings) disturbed or the smell of paint.  But he'll survive.

I EXHAUSTED!  And all I've done is strip the border that was on the walls, wash the walls, fill in the bad holes, sand and paint with primer.  It took me two days to do that.  (I also did 8 loads of laundry during the last two days.)  I really thought by now that I'd have at least one room completely papered.  Ha!  silly me.

Despite carefully covering everything with plastic I got paint on the couch.  Now that means we really have to get a new couch--right?
