I Need To Get Plastered
July 24, 2013
How’s that for a post title? While I do from time to time enjoy a glass of wine, in this instance I’m referring to the second definition of the word.

When I moved into my unit the dining room had white-painted wallpaper on the walls and also the ceiling. While not offensive, the wallpaper was starting to peel so I decided it had to come down. This in itself wasn’t a problem. The problem was what the wallpaper was hiding – globs of wallpaper paste, and more problematic, cracks in the ceiling that had been inexpertly repaired. I should have left the paper where it was.
It’s now three years later and I still haven’t done anything to fix this room. I did get a quote a year or so ago for having the room skim coated, but the number I got was quite a bit more than I had anticipated, so nothing got done.
Last week I noticed a couple of cracks in my living room wall that hadn’t been there a few weeks prior, and unfortunately in the past few days they’ve gotten bigger. The wall is also bowing out a bit in some of the locations of the cracks, and this has me more than a little concerned that the wall is about to come crashing down.

| Note:The cracks aren't visible in photos so I drew where they are |
Please pass along the names of anyone you know - it would be very much appreciated!

I can help you get plastered, but I cant much help with knowing someone to fix your walls :(
ReplyDeleteI feel your pain :( We just moved back into a house we own (but were renting) and our walls are plaster. Our friendly tenants put holes EVERYWHERE. And we need the same type of work done. Let me know if you find someone good :) Sorry I can't be of much help.
ReplyDeleteAlso, I could also help you get plastered.
I'll let you know if I hear of anyone :)
ReplyDeleteOnce I get some quotes I have a feeling I'll need someone to get plastered with ;)
