It would be a very intriguing and very unorthodox question to ask the customer service team at the local hardware store:
\nIs there such a thing as possessed amateur craftsmen? Could there be demons in the paint department? Or other sinister entities that are haunting old furniture?<\/p>\n

Honestly \u2014 somehow I think such things might actually exist in one way or other.
\nLike when long-postponed projects start to “grown” in one’s mind over time. When ideas arise that require more effort than expected, ones that can\u2019t be finished in just a few hours but demand proper planning – and thus begin to root deeper in one’s subconscious than something like changing a lightbulb.
\nAnd then, when the object of one’s project happens to be something that’s always in view, something that can\u2019t be hidden away for a while \u2014 then, in my opinion, the “unholy trinity of a DIY possession” might be complete. That\u2019s when certain tasks, work or even creative ideas gradually begin to take on a life of their own – sometimes, as in my case right now, even in my very own dreams at night.<\/p>\n

So, what is it all about actually? It’s my old bathtub.
\nThe one whose decades-old red paint has started to peel off for several months now, bit by bit.
\nThe one that strictly refuses to let go of all layers of paint, as it can be seen on above’s picture.
\nThe one that keeps reminding me, every time I pass by, that, contrary to all my hopes and plans, I really will need some electric sanding tools to finally strip off the final red spots there.
\nAt this point, I\u2019m almost waiting for it to start speaking to me in Latin or so \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n

Well, frustration, unexpected changes of plans and delays aside \u2014 once again, maybe out of self-defense, I\u2019m taking it all with a good dose of humor and the realization that I’ll be spending this year\u2019s Halloween with my eerily, red-stained bathtub.<\/p>\n

Happy Halloween to all readers!<\/em><\/p>\n
