2. Two years later, paint the walls. See paint coming off in pieces onto the roller, revealing the drywall beneath.
3. Spend the afternoon peeling the paint that won't stay attached.
4. Take picture for posterity.
5. Go to store for more paint (since by now you've run out).
6. Find out they closed at 5 (and it's now 6:45). Come home with dinner.
7. Prime the area properly...and re-prime new areas that bubble.
8. Drink wine and pray that tomorrow this hallway will get finished.

OH NO! Those magic erasers kind of freak me out. When I read the instructions I was reluctant to use them. Now I'm even MORE reluctant. I have a box in my basement and I think that's where they'll stay! I hope your paint gets back to normal!!!
Poor you, what a mess! I'll keep your hallway in my thoughts and hope for the best... Although I have to admit your description made me LOL!!
Thanks, Chloe!! :D
Donna, I've always been very careful with them. I make the kids wear gloves because I've heard that they're not fantastic for your skin. But I never imagined THIS!!! (My friend says to use baking soda in a little water. I'll try that next time!)
super double triple fingers crossed that it all turns out alright today! But I think you handled it well. Photos and wine. Good thinking.
Thanks, Andrea :D
Today's going better so far...hoping that continues...
