Accidentally damaging walls

Sometimes, it doesn’t matter how careful you are, you can end up causing damage. This is the case for our kitchen wall. We had a wooden plate rack screwed into our wall which would seem like an easy thing to remove.

However, it somehow got stuck to our wall, and simply pulling it off wasn’t much of an option. We used a scraper to get between the rack and wall and carefully pried it away. It eventually came away, but it did take some of the wall with it as well.

Thankfully, we have some filler to help fix the issue. Once dry, we will sand it smooth which should look better.

You may be wondering why we’re doing this. Well, we have just over four weeks left until we move. It could actually be sooner, because they have told us they’re just waiting on the kitchen, but we’ll have to wait and see. 9-weeks until we move house! The excitement builds!

We’re hoping we don’t get charged for these damages, but we’ll have to wait and see when they come and inspect the property. 🤷‍♂️
