Jabba 18389 Report post Posted August 18, 2015 I just discovered that I can't caulk worth a damn. Had to do some minor caulking around the shower. I'm paranoid about water leaks, so I thought more caulk is better. Mistake. See dialogue below... Ooopps - applied a little too much. Ok, ok - not a problem. Just smooth it out. Rats, I smeared it all over the wall. How did that big blob get there?? My hands are all covered now. Leave silicon fingerprints on other walls, furniture and the cat. Should have hired an expert. Oh well. To put a positive spin on things, I believe incompetence is best shared among friends. Please help make me feel less like a slug with four thumbs. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Nicolette Vaughn 294340 Report post Posted August 18, 2015 If it's any consolation, I can't paint if my life depended on it. I have a small room that needs to be painted and have been dragging my heels to get on it and get someone to do it. Other rooms have been done by someone who knew what they were doing. Maybe my fairy Godmother can find me someone who I can pay to do it. Just haven't had time to look through kijiji yet. lol. That and I cannot flip eggs properly. When I want sunny side up, they suddenly become scrambled. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
