Death by a Thousand Staple Pricks








So apparently when you cover your walls with padded silk, you have to use about a bo-zillian staples to hold it up. So for the next few days Mandy and I will (very) slowly and methodically be pulling out all of them. Seriously, I conservatively estimate that there are over 2,000 staples in the walls. The staples tore up the walls pretty badly, so I am definitely going to have to put a layer of joint compound over everything just to smooth them out before we can texture the walls. Weapons of choice? Needle-nose vice grips, some very tiny pry bars, and . . . dental probes.
