So this year when Chris returned from Iraq we bought couches for both the family room and basement. Every time he comes home we splurge and buy something for the house. Well, the family room couches we were able to bring home the same day. But the basement couches were on backorder so we are still waiting for them. Well Chris and Ryan decided to take one set of the old couches from the family room to goodwill. They've been sitting in the garage for a month now. So, I suggested that since they were at it they might as well take the other couches out of the basement and take them too. Well, we discovered why the previous owners left the couches in the first place. They were able to get the smaller couch up the stairs and out to the garage with some difficulty but they managed to do it. So, they tried the big couch. Well, that was a big couch. The door was closed so I couldn't see what was going on but I kept hearing a lot of banging, scraping, and thuds. Then it all stopped so I was wondering what was going on and went to check and see them at the bottom of the stairs taking the couch apart. And then I turn around and there's a nice hole in the wall. Luckily it's a wall I need to paint anyway, because it's that awful green that I've painted over a couple of times and it's a big pain to paint. Takes 3 coats of primer and 2 coats of paint. Including the ceiling too. So now we have to do some drywall repair and painting. Guess it was a sign.

Ah, we've had SO much patchwork at our house. Sorry about your wall! I just discovered the paint with primer IN it. Just painted my bedroom and only had to do two coats total.
