You know we had this little leak inside of our fireplace. We discussed it and we taught that it is because of heavy rain for past 2 months. It was just raining through chimney. But no, one morning after really bad rain plus storm we had stains on the walls of our fireplaces. Hmm, doesn't look like it is just raining into a chimney. Unfortunately too late.
Walls were stained and wallpaper was bulging.
So we called roofer and of course the chimney flashing was badly damaged (just falling of) and we were lucky that one of our chimney pots didn't fall on our heads.
So now everything fixed. It took roofer less than hour!
We were left now with damaged wallpaper and stains on two of our walls. Firstly I have "painted" it with bleach. It was in case of mould. Wet wall is very good for it. Then we left it for 3 weeks to dry. Our dehumidifier helped.
After that I have to cut small 2 - 3 mm line of the wallpaper.
Sorry, my pictures are little bit dark.
Than I have put some wallpaper glue inside of the "budging" wallpaper.
These were my only tools :-) Little wooden stick helped with glue.
After, I have stretched the wallpaper. It also covered the 2-3mm cut wallpaper hole. Than I have filled it with wall filler.
And after another day of drying. I have put one coat of the paint.
The stains are still there. It will need at least another 2 coats of paint.
It will teach us to "fix" everything now and not to wait.
