Especially I hv 2 young kids.I realised that yesterday too. My electrician lay wrong wire casement, I asked him redo lay, when he pulled out the casement, the plaster chipped off and a dent was formed. There was one very serious. A big chunk of plaster came off together with the real wall. One big lobang. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

A big chunk of plaster came off together with the real wall. One big lobang.I'm looking for those vertical L shaped plastic which can be sticked to the corner of the walls to precisely avoid such dentings. I see it a lot in Japan and US but I can't find it here in Ikea, Daiso and DIY shop. Best I found are those cheapo soft plastic which is coiled up in a box and it is hard to be straigthened. I have tried taping it onto the wall and usehair dryer to blow it hot, hoping it would straigthened but don't seem to help a lot. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Feels like the whole house will chip off anything. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

NeoBY 1 Report post Posted April 9, 2012 hahhaa....i was wiping a stain on the newly painted wall and 2 small chips came off. the painter who came rectify explained it may be because that spot was cement or plastered and the painters painted it over so it came off quite easily.
