One too many mornings

Got a loan of a steamer to strip the ancient wallpaper from the soon-to-be nursey, excitedly I filled it up with water. Excited because I had taken me 12 hours to strip about 20 square feet, although the wallpaper remover liquid does help a lot, it was still very slow progress.

It was just after sunset dark when I  plugged in the steamer, flicked the switch and bang! Everything was in darkness. The ancient circuit breaker tripped. This had me in a bit of a state because if the electrics are like anything else in this house we are in trouble. Luckily after fifteen minute fumbling around for candles the eletric is back on, and strangely the central heating seems to work now. We shall see if it continues. I’m pretty sure it was the steamer that is scooped and not our electrics and so the sun set on another exciting day of DIY, well the sun was already set before but you catch my drift.
