July 4th Renovation

Well, since the floor jacking is a bit of a slow and tedious process, we decided to tear down some wallpaper today. As Nic and I were tearing through layers of wallpaper today, I said to him "Hey, I wonder how many U.S. Presidents were in office since this first layer of wallpaper was put on?" Well here is the answer in order courtesy of www.apples4theteacher.com:

23 Harrison, Benjamin (1889-1893)

27 Taft, William Howard (1909-1913)
28 Wilson, Woodrow (1913-1921)
