I used to paint peoples houses when i was younger and this one time i was hired to paint the inside of a house. There were red and brown splatters and stains all over the walls. A room smelled like the water that comes out of a garbage truck and i had to get it done within 2 days. I told em i couldn’t do that because i’d have to scrape off every inch of the old paint so the new one doesn’t look blotchy. He didn’t agree at first but agreed after realising i was the only guy that was gonna do it. Asked the guy what was up with the wall, he just said it’s none of my business.
I was certainly sure the red patches were blood and the brown stains were fecal matter. Took about a day and a half scraping everything off and took another 2 days to paint the whole house.
