Decorating
I'm busy decorating my kitchen (or should I say my dad is LOL) I had it fitted b4 Christmas and just had tiling done and am now removing wall paper to put up new....I wanted to just put up lining paper and paint it ...Ok I know its cheating and I should get walls plastered so I could paint that but I encountered so many problems walls falling to bits etc that extra cost had already come into effect so anyways....I am busy stripping the old paper off the walls and I need to say it hasn't been decorated since I moved in 6yrs ago other than paint work being done and I want to scream at the previous owners and the owners b4 them and the owners b4 them LOL...here is little old me telling my dad sure Da ill strip the walls no probs...I love stripping wall paper very therapeutic so I jump up on my little ladders and get out the hot water n sponge n my little yellow handled scraper (its soooo cute) and strip off the layer of paper and what do I find...the top layer comes of leaving the backing paper so I wet my sponge again and start the next round...so off comes the backing paper and what do I find??
yup u guessed it more fucking wall paper...the bastards papered on top of paper I mean how fecking lazy can ya get??? un deterred I grabbed a coffee and re wet my sponge and jumped back on my ladder a bit of portishead playing in the back ground I carried on....An hour later and another layer of fucking wall paper had been discovered this a fantastic crappy yellow/green brownish check Hmmmm tasteful who the fucked used to live here it was like something out the wonder years (u know the t.v show) ok so now I getting seriously pissed I mean how lazy can people get?? paper on top of paper on top of paper this is now 3 layers....
ok now I getting to the stage of wanting to give up...but no I promised my Da id strip these walls...I mean he is getting old and well its the least I can do....
ok let's re-evaluate
right I got it
"hi mam can u have little one tonight so I can get the walls finished for dad?"
"sure hun fetch him round at 6"
"hey hun (mate) fancy few drinks round mine tonight?"
"sure ill be there at 7 shall I bring a bottle?"
"yup my mum has little one so can get smashed...see u at 7"
right re-enforcement on their way this wont take long n drinks will make it more bearable
ok so mates here wine has been drunk (3bottles between the two of us) and that yellow greenish brown checked paper has finally been stripped wooooohooooo oh my god what's that it cant be...you can be serious this just cant be happening I've filled about 6black refuse bags with paper and yup u guessed it here is another frigging layer...this ones not actually too bad...well that's if ya like bright aqua and orange together mmmmmm classy...
right ok the lazy bastards have had me strip 4layers and I've had it I not doing anymore sod it Da I tried I sorry but I just can do this any more....
so my dad's on his way round today with some thick wall paper I can put over the god knows how many layers that's left and I gonna paint that.... Sod the lining paper....Sod the nice smooth walls bring on the blow vinyl LOL
as the say....you can beat em join em....
so if in around 3years or so....when I move out, some lad or lass is blogging about stripping a few layers of wall paper in the kitchen calling the previous owner a lazy cow for papering on paper...you can tell her...you can point her to my blog and tell her I worked my ass off n she can go to hell coz I don't care anymore.....I just want a kitchen that looks like a kitchen instead of a building site....
