Comment on the Perks of ownership...

Ah, I remember getting the stairs redone. They need 1990s vinyl on them, and we wanted non- slip carpet. I was smart enough not to do the carpeting myself, but surely I could strip it?

Turns out the vinyl was attached with pure fucking magic, and the nothing short of xenomorph blood was getting that shit off. Then, after 2 days of violence, I find out that they can’t actually glue carpet to paint. They used to be able to, but the modern glue puts not killing the user over being convenient for me, which is fair.

Unfortunately, the paint was high quality. And thick enough to serve as a a staircase by itself, so after using some expensive goopy enzymatic paint stripper, and some good old fashioned harsh chemicals, I ended up sanding away the remaining paint over the next week.

It’s been two years, and I think I finally vacuumed up the last dust.

Never again.
