The Sad Ironman Story

One of the highlights of Jumbo was my Ironman wall lights. After getting purchase and installation approval (from Mrs Always Right), we managed to buy it online and were so looking forward to installing it.

Being OCD (me), we measured the wall multiple times, did various marking to ensure that the wall crack sticker and the Ironman Mask is right @ the center of the wall and straight. We were so darn proud of ourselves when the mask was up….

… then to our HORROR….we realised that there was no space left for the HAND!!!! -.-. Arrrrgggghhhhh! Yes yes, a few of our friends said that we can squeeze in the hand at the edge.. but then it would not be PERFECT. It was one of the saddest night of the renovation process (feeling stupid and frustrated)….BUT, luckily there is always the Internet, the solutions provider to almost all of mankind’s problems. We ordered an extra set of wall crack stickers from a Canadian Company and waited… hoping that they don’t swindle our money…

3 Weeks later…..

Finally, life is good again. Lessons learnt:

1. When mounting/sticking things on the wall, mark out position for EVERY PART first before  drilling the first hole.

2. When removing stickers from the wall, use a hair-drying to melt the glue first to avoid peeling the paint off.

3. To order Ironman Wall Lights you can try sms.ing: +65-91175993. However I think it is currently out of stock.
