Here is the frigid view of the Rock River today, Sunday, facing SouthWest. We've done well with the shell of the Beloit Corp. I particularly like the rainbow.
Note the 'office-appearing' building in the center of the composition; it's not. In fact it's a brilliant job of wallpaper on the part of ABC Supply, who supplied ( flashback to Weird Al Yankovic's UHF: Gedde Watanabe screaming, "SUPPLIES!") the fabric/composite that coated an ugly frame of an industrial building in a faux phinish. It's a tarp.
I have always found this brilliant, and continue to do so. Good job.
My cover-up job today, however, did not go so well:
Lesson: When using Wall Liner, as opposed to Wall Paper, do NOT use a starch-based adhesive. It will not work. This stuff is designed to float over such stuff as concrete block, brick, stone, and such. It's tough stuff and will not even stick to itself with a starch-based adhesive. It requires, evidently, a clay-based adhesive... Well, whatever.
That's for King Day.
I've never in any way admired Adolf Hitler, but as he was sometimes known as 'The Austrian Paper-Hanger', if he was good at it, I'll at least admire his skill as a young man. Really.
