To install a garbage disposal in the kitchen, the drain had to be lowered, which involved going all the way to the standpipe in the wall between the kitchen and dining room. We didn't think too much of this, as the kitchen was gutted anyway. But later, when we moved some furniture in the dining room to paint, we found a poorly patched hole in the wall... It still Allisonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06873501227861838853noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11065729.post-1156210469132967482006-08-21T18:34:00.000-07:002006-08-21T18:34:00.000-07:00wow allison- that must have blown your mind.

I had an experience starting to strip a door that I thought was oak, but turned out to be poplar or pine- kind of a disappointment.<BR/><BR/>You were all geared up and then whoa.

Sure a mess...irritating, upsetting, but having to go through the rigamarole of replacing a ceiling that you already replaced once..ultra frustrating!<BR/><BR/>Definitely hire it out and let someone else deal with it.Christinahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13439834143189271824noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11065729.post-1155837683237153472006-08-17T11:01:00.000-07:002006-08-17T11:01:00.000-07:00Man, plumbers are so famous for doing that, and cu...Man, plumbers are so famous for doing that, and cutting through structure. At least the tile was left alone. If you cut back to the stud on each side, you should be able to get a good patch on it, and paint the entire wall, and the ceiling.Derekhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14134900860188022345noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11065729.post-1155832742707828772006-08-17T09:39:00.000-07:002006-08-17T09:39:00.000-07:00aw MAN! i'm sooo sorry. but rah for you for just h...aw MAN! i'm sooo sorry. but rah for you for just hiring someone to deal with it.

It is probably best that you don't fix it, I would curse the hole and the person who made it so many different ways, all that hate would probably get sealed up in the wall.amandahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10630457631887463130noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11065729.post-1155818161697853962006-08-17T05:36:00.000-07:002006-08-17T05:36:00.000-07:00Now you can say that you are members of the Chicag...Now you can say that you are members of the Chicago branch of the "Hole in the Wall Gang!"
