As any other kid in the world, when they get angry, they throw stuffs. The same rule applies to me. During my youth, whenever something does not happen by my will ... i get mad, so i throw anything in my sight. it hapens to be, you know, telephones, books ... everything lol.
Sometimes, for pleasure, i rather punch on the drywalls more than anything else. My room is injured more than ever as time goes by.
As a grown up, i have decided to renew my room; although i know nutting about renovation. With the help of some "Googling" ... i had started my projet 3 days ago; Room Management ! On the first day ... i went to the reno depot nearby my house in order to to purchase whatever is required ...
On the first day ... i was trying to fill up the holes in my drywalls with the putty ! Ok ... its a simple task ... tat is if you have whatever is necessary ... a long Putty knife; Noob that Im ... i thought the scratcher located in my basement was actually a putty knife, so i didnt bother acquiring it at reno. It was a pure pain to do the filling; After hours of screwing around ... i have finally remember i can just put any amount of putty i want and sand it down afterwards. Doing so have finally get the job done, cause without a real putty knife ... it was nearly impossible to repair a 2.5 inches hole with a 2 inches scratcher.
On the second day ... i have decided to mount my old speakers to the ceiling ... yup ... another pain is about to appear ! Drilling holes was no big deal, then i have to attach the wires alongside the walls. It has taken hours, because somehow, i have managed to injure myself at least 5 times within an hour. I know now why safety boots and gloves are required in many jobs. After the wiring and mounting are done, i started to put the primer .... in order to cover my old paint. Nothing hard, just alot of sweating due to the fact that this week is the only and unique week where the sun shines upon Quebec all week long, and the temperature is around 35c; i know its nutting unusual in hk ... but in quebec, its very rare. Once the primer has dried ... the first layer of paint is applied.
On the third day ... i did the second layer and the border cutting with the paint brush. It was a pretty easy job, if i had put the primer on my wires, which i didnt .... Doing so would improve the adherence of the paint itself; So i ended up putting endless coats of paint on the wires in order to fuse it with the color of the wall. Then ... i vaccumed the room, mopped it and move all my stuffs back. As i was removing the masking tape from the wallpapers, i destroyed part of it ... oops ? but anyways, it doesnt match with the color of my room, so i will have to buy some one way or another.
In short, i was satisfied of the given result, as this is my first time with the hole filling / painting / drilling. I have acquired some experiences, the hard way; preperations should not be neglected, especially the masking taping ... failing to do so will increase the job load at the end, not to mention ... something will be messed up ... your floor !!!
Heres the result ...


i hope you guys love it as much as i do ... cause sincerly ... i am proud of myself. :) this kind of yellow-ish is very warm to look at during the daytime as it absorbs the sunshine.
Btw ... I succeeded to install the stores which my dad has not been able to do so for years ... For the past half a decade, my room has been a target of the sunshine / sunset. hehe
