Properly, this weekend didn’t go as deliberate. I do know that each mission has its ups and downs, victories and setbacks. However this explicit setback was such a disappointment that it actually took the wind out of my sails. Amazingly, I didn’t cry, nevertheless it certain did make me wish to throw within the towel for a couple of days, particularly with this coming on the finish of every 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 peculiar after 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 brink of go to lunch, and I circled and noticed this…
Yep, that’s water harm on my newly put in grasscloth wallpaper. The harm covers two widths of the wallpaper.
As you possibly can think about, my coronary heart sank. The excellent news is that I’ve sufficient wallpaper to switch 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 sport for me to must be changing broken wallpaper.
Initially, I wasn’t certain the place the water was coming from. There have been two potentialities — the HVAC system within the attic or a leak within the roof. Actually, I hoped for the primary one, however I had the HVAC man out on Friday to examine and clear the system, and that wasn’t the issue.
Nope. The perpetrator is the photo voltaic tube skylight, which isn’t even getting used proper now to offer additional lighting anyplace in our main bedroom suite, however which continues 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 stand 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 harm.
Anyway, that set the tone for my complete weekend, and for sure, 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. But it surely’s so disappointing to work so laborious at one thing after which see a part of it ruined inside every week or so.
I’m additionally taking a look at choices for sealing grasscloth wallpaper. I do know it may be completed, and I would check out a couple of choices on these two broken items earlier than I take them down and exchange them. I’ll hold y’all up to date on which possibility (if any) I feel works finest. Or if you already know of any product that works nice for sealing wallpaper (particularly grasscloth), please let me know! I’m open to all concepts proper now.
