It's not before vs after?

When I got my house the basement had some what I assumed was gross looking tan colour painted over everything.

I was wrong. Everything. Trim, electrical sockets, ceiling, walls, doors, knobs...everything... All of it was painted in the same gross muted Rose colour that I could only distinguish once I started painting over it.

Might as well be tenants, of the last two places I rented one landlord redid the whole bathroom because of a few mold spots and the other one repainted everything white between tenants, making sure to remove everything they could from the walls and taping everything that shouldn't be painted...

But when you don't own the place anyway? Why bother, paint everything, not your problem.

Human parasites.

This reminds me of the weird partial cabinet around my gas meter that came with the house 18 years ago. The paint is the only thing holding it together and I’d need a real carpenter to replace it.

It looks very modern. Like HGTV but it probably won't collapse in a year

You don't have to be a landlord to be a moron or not a good caretaker of your space.

Look at your floor. Can you see dirt visibly on it? 🤷. I'm judging you way more for that than having a painted door.

Yes, I blame my dog for being a messy eater who is resistant to my efforts to get him to use a place mat. He keeps grabbing a mouthful of food, walking over to the carpet, dropping the food, then eating off the carpet.

Happily, our carpets are washable. I just don't wash them every time I feed the dog.
