The walls looks normal until I actually got up close to them to wash before painting. It looked as though some previous owner had punched holes in the walls and patched them badly.

Hey, Ann! Good to hear f...Diane, good suggestion!<br /><br />Hey, Ann! Good to hear from you! What DID I have for dinner after that? Oh, yeah. We grilled. It was good, but it was no margarita. Heading with a couple friends to Barrio, a Mexican place downtown in a week. I’m storing my need for a margarita for then. I’m hoping there’s a blog in it. <br /><br />Scrappy Doo, I hear ya. I do love living in the city, but I love the country and usually take my vacations there. Mountains especially. <br /><br />Jodie, that orange stuff that I can’t recall just now does the trick. There’s also Comet, my personal favorite. :-D Love that scrubbing motion!<br /><br />Cygnus, I could never figure out the attraction to enormous houses. How much space do ya need, anyway?! <br />And thanks!!<br /><br />Ladyfi, I’m dead good at the scrubbing motion. :-D And ooooh were my arms tired on Sunday!<br /><br />Kavi, oh but there are so many lessons to learn! :-D I suspect that I miss the majority of them…<br /><br />Unfinished Rambler, sorry! :-D Would it help to know that the place is sparkling clean now?!<br /><br />Sweet Cheeks, the grease and whatever was on those walls definitely cut into our hourly rate, that’s for sure. I bid it as a flat fee of $100. But that was for the two of us. Should’ve taken four hours. Took five. I bin robbed!<br /><br />Icky, I do remember when that was open space. I definitely preferred it that way!<br />And as for the carpet-biting incident… I have nothing to say. The carpet was that way when I got there, I tucked it back into the bull-nose, and that’s all I’m saying about it!<br /><br />Rene, the bathrooms weren’t too bad, although I couldn’t get the mineral deposits off of two of them. Damn hard water! They should’ve cleaned those more often.<br /><br />Heartsinsanfrancisco, ha! Anything done well is guaranteed to be overdone and on sale, guaranteed to lose its original flavor. <br />The Minneapolis Institute of Art has much of a Wright home on display. It’s really something. <br /><br />SweetPea, you coulda been there with us! That’s exactly where the conversation went. But at the end of it we were too tired to commit crimes. <br />It’s always about timing!<br /><br />Fingers, you know, I was going to work something on that in there. :-D Glad you mentioned it!<br /><br />Darsden, oh, there’s work and there’s work! I’ve been in houses that absolutely reeked of animals and animal hair. The worst ones are the heavy smokers. Word of advice on those: don’t start scrubbing those walls. :-D It never ends.<br /><br />Kate, I know! You’d think it would’ve been easier. Easier to maneuver maybe, but there’s still the same amount of floors, bathrooms, walls, and countertops…<br /><br />Aria, I’m not a fan of clutter. But now you’ve got me considering the “less is more” phrase… :-DPearlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05261369905176088917noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1060614279393262320.post-41915117488683331322009-05-31T18:42:06.792-07:002009-05-31T18:42:06.792-07:00I love those shows too... and see, I was right "Le...I love those shows too... and see, I was right "Less <I>IS</I> More" of course I was talking about something else, but hey, the phrase still fits...Ariahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15625682101666386299noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1060614279393262320.post-63582800560694773922009-05-31T18:31:41.947-07:002009-05-31T18:31:41.947-07:00I can imagine doing the same thing.
