Bless Me Father...


Bless me Father for I have strayed... it's been about an hour and a half since my last blog. While waiting for an epiphany on how to solve the doorknob, doorlock drama I got bored and started another project. This one involves two rather thick layers of paint on top of two layers of old wall paper. Upon close inspection Father, one can see that this wallpaper is also about one hundred years old. During my last blog Father - we learned that 'old' things just don't work or come off that well... for this and for my previous @#@$@ language - I do confess (but to tell the truth, I'm not all that @#@$@ sorry).

The whole problem here, as I see it, is that painted-over electrical outlet.

tsk, tsk...

Just where the hell does that door lead anyway? Did you buy the Stairway to Heaven?

Anyway, I think you have two choices here. Keep peeling paint and paper off that old horsehair plaster, or tear it down altogether and put up some drywall (which might be easier).

Yes there are two paths you can go by, but in the long run, there's still time to change the road you're on ....

Actually Jim, while working on this project this morning the thought of you with a sledge hammer did come to mind. Remember - I'm the one that likes painting over the outlets. K?
