Not only do we need to buy a dictionary for the forum members, but Sunrise Points post reminds me that in certain rooms of my place there is in fact a small piece of lattice covering the joints, which, by the way, does make repainting horrible. It also makes the walls look like something my 6 year old put up.

Maybe I can teach the silicone adult male domestic fowl/foul to paint the walls?
Lets see, that makes me 0 for 2 on this particular subject. Looks like the lead paints getting to me after all.
Sunrise Point, welcome to the forums. As you can see after a while we do start to loose our minds though....
