I still can't believe the paint shedding. Creepy! I think our entire house was staged for sale. We've been in the house 5 weeks and mildew is coming up through the paint. Awesome.

It was built in 1948 and had about a kabillion layers of paint on every wall in every room. We experienced the walls peeling off in huge sheets as well. It was so upsetting! Anyway, after meeting with a crusty old guy from a paint store, I learned a couple of valuable lessons. Apparently, walls, especially lathe and plaster walls, only hold so many layers of a paint before they finally come off. Never TSP (cleaner) a lathe and plaster wall as it will not rough the walls up to hold a new layer of paint. Also the only way to paint, is to prime with an oil based primer and then you can paint latex over that. If that does not work, then you call in a plaster guy and have him mud the walls and sand and voila new clean wall to paint. Good luck! We bought our first house in 2009.

New house! I'd be so stressed I think my hair would start falling out. Wait ... I only did two of those three (big move new job) and my hair IS falling out. So, yeah. Good on ya for not losing it. Also, at my new (very conservative) workplace, I can't see your blog. It's blocked because it's "sex education." Um, what? Also: I can still read The Bloggess. WTF? Nice people at your job! Wedding! New house!

Um, what?
