Amp Home Improvement Tips #1

been remodeling the guest room here for months.... we're in the final stages now, painted all the doorjambs, doorjamb trim, and doors, (replacing one interior door and rebuilding the closet completely).... and in a moment of blinding stupidity, we decided it'd be cool to give the walls a coat of "Venetian Plaster", heavily burnished, to go witht he Hawaiian Island theme we got going throughout the room. The look is perect.

The Issue: This shit is like fucking goo. Has to be applied to the walls with a fucking trowel. It takes F-O-R-E-V-E-R. We just gave the bathroom in there the first coat. (yes.... two coats are needed).... after that shit dries, we give it another coat. Then it needs to dry again. THEN, the topcoat.... (only for the bathroom, not the main guest room).... then 7 days later, we burnish.

holy fucking crap.... this is a LOT of fucking work, and this shittin' fuckin' goo is expensive as fuck. Can only DIG out a little at a time cuz it dries so fucking fast. (It doesn't pour like paint.... actually have to dig it out of the can with a fucking stick)....


I'm sure the final result will be as we envisioned, but I will never..... EVER... put this shit on again, in ANY room, for any reason.
