When we bought this lovely mid-century modern house a few years ago, my only real complaint was “I hate that fucking wall!”
Short term solution was to bury it behind bookshelves, but it’s still there… LURKING. It irks me just knowing it’s still there, that half-assed wainscoting made of plywood strips and blue paint.
At a minimum, my plan is to pull the plywood off and re-paint before putting the bookracks back, but there has to be something nicer.
Maybe something like this above the bookracks where the wall is exposed? I dunno. I’m open to ideas.
I mean like my (well not technically my house, it’s my parent’s) house has like cracks in the walls and in the ceilings. Like sometimes water from the bathrub area starts leaking…
Like… average Philly house
It’s been like this since like I was still in middleschool/highschool many years ago.
Never really got fixed.
Also, heater is semi-broken, since like 2016/2017 I think. Randomly stops working and my dad has to use some weird temporry fix and it would last a maybe a fee days to weeks, and like next winter its the same shit.
Also, the refrigerator/freezer sometimes has like the top freezer part the it would get above 0°C and icecream would melt. Ruined a lot of icecream lol.
I feel like your standards are too high… just live with it. Like my current shitty house is not even the worst house I’ve lived in, I’ve lived in much worse in my home country.
Oh yeah, FUNCTIONALLY, the house is fine.*
*“fine” defined as “built in 1951 so there is not a single ground wire in the entire house so we have 4 GFI outlets for the important stuff.” 😉
