A letter

Dear Previous Homeowners of my now current home,
       While I applaud all of your projects that you did in making the house that much more awesome, was it really necessary to use screw anchors on EVERY thing you put in the wall? I appreciate ALL the shelving you left behind, but sadly I dont like the shelving in the places you left it. Therefor I have HUGE holes in all my walls. Why you ask? Here's the thing, I have anger issues when it comes to doing "chores" or little "projects". I get very pissed off upset when Ive taken every screw out of something and it still wont come off the wall. Now, I always try to be very gentle at first. I try to pull ever so slightly, ever so slightly, ever so slightly. When I am not immediatly rewarded with succes is when the anger starts to rise. By the end I have pulled and yanked so hard on what ever is attached to the wall (and of course I dont use any type of profanity in the process! Not me!) that there are holes 3 times the size of the anchor and other random gauges taken out of the wall. Now I'm sure there is a method, or proper way in taking out anchors, but I dont know it! Was there really something so heavy on a shelf that is 2 inches deep? Mustve been the worlds heaviest plate. Next I come to the paint job in our "office". While it is quite the stellar paint job(Savannah was obsessed when she first saw it) it sadly will not go with our decor in the office. Now I know it must have taken you ages to paint that room. What with all the taping off that was required to make aaaallllll those squares. Silly old me thought I would be able to keep the lines from the squares popping through into the new paint job by sanding down all the lines really well. Did that prevent that from happening you ask? NO! It was because each sqaure was a diffrent texture of paint so the newly dried paint dries diffrently on each sqaure. Yes call it a rookie mistake if you will, I call it "im lazier than shite and didn't want to prime the walls first" See I've never been much of a primer.I guess I've never really needed to prime before. I think its a waste of time and have much better things to be doing with my time other than painting a room a billion times. Luckily the only wall I've painted in our office is our chalk board wall and it looks a little cool/ok with the squares popping through. Good thing I thought to wait until that wall was completely dry before starting to paint the other 3 walls, or I would have been uber peeved. Your Blue squares paint job was seriously so cool, I really did love it, just not for our office. But all in all you sold us a really great house, and I really shouldnt be complaining about something so small. You really did no wrong here. You were just being cautious and doing cool paint jobs....it just been more work and effort for me! But again thanks for all the hard work put forth on the house so I can enjoy it :-)

warm regards,
Sam
