Decorating - for temporary living

We removed the carpets and underlay and 3 layers of wallpaper from every room. We washed the walls down with sugar soap. The sofa was taken to the dump amongst other large pieces of furniture also left by the elderly lady that had lived here, including a double bed with mattress and a single bed with mattress. We painted the interior of the whole house - the walls, ceilings and woodwork with 3 coats of paint including primer. Can't believe we achieved all this in a window of just 2 weeks before we moved in. It was exhausting.
