with some help from my dad and you tube and the guys at home depot...this is the result of my first ever patch in the plaster wall of a one hundred year old home. it is quite possible i am a bit proud of myself. oh, and once i got all the wallpaper that was under the grass wallpaper off...i put primer on it...and that is how this wall will remain for now.

the new heater...something less frightening and less likely to burn miss c when it heats up...and the new hole in the wall.

the second wall was not. the light green is wallpaper that was beneath the grass wallpaper...it took a long time to remove. the other part is paint on top of plaster.

the first wall was easy peasy.

i know some people wouldn't mind grass wallpaper...but i greatly disliked it...and i knew i could make a big mess before the floor guys came...and i knew we were getting a new wall heater put in that would leave a big hole that i would need to patch...something that would be more easily done with a bare wall.
