So today Kathy said that she wanted to move the bureaus out from the wall in our bedroom, so she could vacuum behind them. OK, that's almost easy. Take out the drawers, carry them to the next room, and then move the bureaus. Then we looked at the walls and realized that the whole room needed to be painted! Anyhow, I got right to work and started chipping away at loose plaster and areas of the walls that had cracks in it. The cracks are there because you are looking at the chimney which was used by the oil burner exhaust. We have always had problems with the wall cracking because the oil burner would be used all winter which expanded the chimney bricks, and then in the summer with the oil burner off, the bricks contract. So that's why the cracks in the plaster in this old house!

Of course, you got right to work fixing the old plaster walls. You amaze me. The walls are a very pretty soft color. Will you paint it similar or change your color? I will never vacuum behind my dressers again! :-)

It is always amazing how going from vacuuming behind a bureau leads to painting a whole room! Sounds familiar!! betsey
Looks like a project! Can't wait to see the room color. Trace
