Walpaper

6 years ago, about a week before I found out I was pregnant with Mini-Me, I started pulling the wallpaper off the walls in Pat's kitchen and he grabbed the flooring to pull it up. Now we were in the middle of a kitchen refurbishing. One thing followed another, and, while we finished the kitchen, we never got the wallpaper trim up on the walls. Well, we did that this weekend.


That trim has been languishing in Pat's washroom for 6 years now. This past Friday I decided that we would measure the kitchen then:

1. Install the trim if we had enough.


2. If we didn't have enough we would buy another roll online or chuck it and call it a day.

Well, we had enough, and we got it up on the walls. But then there was the case of the missing blank plate.

Pat has a receptacle on the wall over the door to his washroom. It's wired up and good, but we've never needed it so we put a blank plate over it, then hung a clock over that. Well, Pat was unscrewing the plate so that we could fit the trim around it. He set the plate down and it disappeared. We never found it and, given that he was on a step ladder at the time, there weren't too many places for it to go. So, Pat must be the David Copperfield of the Do It Yourself set, or that switch plate was magic.
