painting

What do you do when you need to paint a closet that is above a stairwell? Boards, plywood with a big hole in it, and a folding chair.

Oh yeah, and lots of insurance.

How could something go wrong?

Try not to drip any paint on the stairs. Thanks. ~Not-So-Handy Andy

Aaaaand I'm speechless. ~Not-So-Handy Andy

Here we see two iterations of Elias Garcia Martinez' Ecce Homo: the original painted nearly 100 years ago in the Sanctuary of Mercy Church near Zaragoza, Spain, and the pitifully botched restoration done over the original by some random yo they hired because she had an art degree from Frank's College of Knowledge.

Zaragoza city councilor Juan Maria Ojeda had this to say about the situation:

"I think she had good intentions. Next week she will meet with a repairer and explain what kind of materials she used. If we can't fix it, we will probably cover the wall with a photo of the painting."

"We had to repaint our house, and to do that we had to remove the stairs in the backyard. My dad whipped this up so we could still use the door."

I know I should climb up to the helicopter before the building collapses, but that spot really needs some primer.
