still cheaper than therapy*

and then taking away the existing medicine cabinet and toilet and vanity - ohh, that was fun. i got the medicine cabinet - all you have to do is tug - but the vanity we had to get a friend of ours to come help tug, and he had a crowbar, and that helped too. And the toilet lifts off after you drain & unscrew it. And to put the hole back from the existing medical cabinet is cutting a big piece of drywall to fit, and hammering it all in and taping it all up, and then afterwards it was still a little bit behind the normal wall so i had this big valley and had to fill it up with mud. which may or may not be okay - but i'm betting it will be; they built houses out of adobe, after all, and by now it's all had plenty of time to dry. and of course back when you were taking down the wallpaper all the other things - the towel bars and the robe hooks and the little towel ring and the miniblinds - all those came down and got spackled up before the mud was even in the picture. And then there's more mud and sanding behind where the vanity was and over the old medicine-cabinet-area.
And then you can primer. Twice.
And then you can paint the ceiling ....
And then you can paint it purple.
