But, I wanted to paint my kitchen before the new carpet gets laid down.
I noticed that the paint was cracked so I started to peel it off. It lifted very easily but was very thick. I thought "Hmm, must be because it is oil based".
Well, there is a big gap between the paint and the wall so I figured, I better scrape it all off because it's loose. Makes sense, yes?
So I got my scraper and stuck it in between and what happens? The fucking wall comes off! Big chunks fall to the floor and this big wire mesh thing is sticking out!
What the fuck? haha Sigh. I have no idea what to do now. Should I hire an illegal alien at Home Depot to fix it? Who puts wire in a wall? Why is it there? I suppose I could cover it up, but the paint is all loose...wouldn't that pose a problem? I need help people!
According to my stats, this blog gets 30-40 hits a day and no one posts...For the love of the Baby Jesus, post now and help me!
Just when I was starting to feel good about my home fix-it skills improving, bam, the universe hits me with wired mesh sticking out of my wall.
I swear, all I wanted to do was paint. If there is something fucked up and silly that could happen, it would happen to me.
I need a Redbull and Vodka...
Oh, and here's a pic (click to enlarge)

I say rip the sucker open more - maybe there is some hidden loot behind it!
Hahahaha what a douchebag! lol you need to fill the whole with plaster and get it as smooth as you can. they look like plaster walls already. You may be better off using a texture paint on it when you are done to hide any blemishes...LOL Stop trying to do home improvements!
Girl, you are as bad as I am with the typos!
There is more to it then the picture reveals...the paint isn't flat against the wall, I could lift up the whole wall if I wanted too...
I have a friend coming over tomorrow at lunch time to look at it and give me direction.
I will not be stopped by one little wall!
