The former owners of the house had no qualms about painting over nails, drywall screws, regular screws, or any wall hardware really. They even painted over the wall outlets. This made it super fun trying to get everything out of the wall so I could patch the holes. I am not exaggerating when I say there were probably 50 total holes in the wall. It was ridiculous.
I patched them, though, and sanded them. Wearing a respirator for the first time was pretty terrifying. I couldn't shake the feeling that I was suffocating slowly.
Next up is cleaning the walls off from the sanding dust and general dirt that is on them and taping off everything with painters tape. I'm hoping to get that done by tomorrow morning, after I get some decent sleep. I'd like to be done painting by the end of this weekend, but I'm not sure if that's optimistic or not.
I would share a picture or two of the walls with the drywall patching on them, but it doesn't really show up on pastel green walls with my current not so awesome point and shoot camera. I miss my DSLR. One of my cats knocked it on the floor and broke it at the end of 2013. RIP DSLR.
