Let's open the dances

Yesterday, finally, the renovation work started.
What we are aiming at, right now, is painting the walls, polishing the floor and fixing a bathroom, plus probably a minor serie of other items.

Here is how it looks today our ground floor.
The wallpaper (or better, vävtapeter and the normal wallpaper) has been removed in the three rooms. Under there there are different layers of material.



Here we can see that underneath the vävtaper there is a "drawing". From old pictures that unfortunately we don't have (from the previous owner) we know that there was some wooden frame including a wallpaper. I think that was the pattern. Under that there might be something else, but it is not clear what.


The pattern is visible in all the room.


There is some minor wallpaper also in the low part of the veranda and that needs to be removed as well.
When removing it, it unvealed some additional wallpaper and behind that some isolation material.
It is interesting to see that most of the times, instead of removing properly all the layers, the new "material" has been just added on top.
