re: #123 Killgore Trout
Yeah, I started stripping the wallpaper off some of these walls as long as 3 years ago. Took a bit longer than I anticipated.
Whoa!
I thought I set the record with my 6 month job.
3 years ago?
I have to laugh.
I have a bit of an excuse - the walls are painted panels, and they had, over time, developed gaps, so I had to spackle in the gaps. By the time I finished that job, the spackling had begun to crack (new gaps forming!). So I had to re-spackle using an elastic spackle that is supposed to give when the panels move from heating/cooling/house settling. That took the most time, and honestly, by the time I finished all of the spackling, I was disgusted and the painting took forever, even though it was the easiest part of the job.
