Actually, it is neither. It is just my latest project. Back when I was putting a new roof on the house, I didn't quite cover a section of stripped roof properly, and wouldn't you know it rained, and when I went to bed, there was water dripping on the bed and pillow! Yikes! I climbed up on the roof, at night, and fixed it. But the damage was done. The plaster was soaked, and the top layer of plaster and paint peeled. So I am starting to fix all that. I have to use a chisel to dig out all of the buckled plaster layer, and then I will use joint compound to tape and fill in all the missing plaster. When I started taking off some of the buckled plaster, what I found underneath were sections of the wall that had been painted different colors in the past. Sort of like suburban archaeology!
Interesting photo, but sorry to hear why it developed. One more joy of being a homeowner of an old house with plaster walls.

Found art, so cool. For unfortunate reasons, yes, but glad you found a photo in it.
ReplyDeleteYou should make friends with a roofer. The hell with the light guy.
ReplyDeleteThe roofing thing was one *tiny* mistake. I did the whole roof myself, and it is perfect. It was just one little mistake in a temporary cover - and that was the night it rained! :-(
