My grandma has this saying: "If it ain't one thing, it's another."
That's all I could say yesterday when I was doing paint prepwork in the
hallway.
Just damn.
I was sanding and stripping off the old caulk from around the woodwork
when a piece of the paint started peeling. I thought it was fine at
first: I could get a chance to see all the different colors of paint
that have been used over the years (beige, white, yellow, blue, and then
white and the wood has been mint green at some point). But when the
paint started coming off in chunks the size of my head, I knew there'd
be a problem.
I'm going to try to spackle the edges and sand it down. It'd be a real
bitch if all of these paint layers had to be stripped off the entire wall.
