I’m moving house and had photos up using those no nails command strips. The fucking things were cemented to the wall and had to take the paint off to get them off. Looks fucking terrible.
The paint was a blend from B&Q years ago and can’t remeber what it is.
Do you reckon I have to sort this? The guy buying my house is moving in on the 1st.
We have the same problem, we’re moving out next week and had a bunch of stuff stuck on with 3M pads. We basically just put a bit of pollyfiller in there to fill any of the deeper gaps that peeled off, sanded it then just got some cheap paint samples to cover. You can see it if you’re really looking, but it’ll do for a quick walkthrough with the landlord. But if you’re selling its probably ok
I wouldnt worry about matching the paint, just put a bit of filler in it, failing that tell em to fuck off. I had about 6 wallmounted guitar hangers on the wall that had three screws in each one. Just took em off the wall, boshed a bit of polyfilla in it and legged it
Just remembered when we moved in we started stripping the wallpaper and the cheeky fucker had papered over a giant hole in the wall. This is small potatoes.
In Scotland the seller has a week to report issues like damp, might be similar dahn sarf?
Marks on walls are definitely nothing to worry about. It’s best not to bother painting before the move in date either, because they’ll probably want to paint it themselves. Plastering over holes is wise but I don’t think you need to worry here. Got a flat sale going through on Friday so all this is kinda on my mind but maybe it’s different in Scotland.
I’m completely incapable of watching/listening to anything involving the general public for that reason. I either cringe or get annoyed. Even when they interview people on the street in BBC news.
Kinda related, but news articles quoting individual random Twitter responses to whatever has happened, like they’re some kind of representative barometer for the whole nation
A massive problem for hyperlocal news just now, like [Your city]Live.com.
Those outlets are owned by Reach Media, who have just announced that they’re closing newsrooms and staff will be working from home from now on, so that’s probably going to get worse when the people doing those stories don’t have a boss looking over their shoulder. I hate it.
'One disgruntled Twitter user thought the proposals were ridiculous.
