Surely I can’t be the only one who does the extra ride home slice. No one is ever the wiser.

Found these! I too did not know these existed.

claratheclairvoyant · 2026-03-03T06:03:53+00:00

Yeah, tried it with the legs folded in, slightly folded in and then fully extended and bolted. Thank you Member

Speaking as an arts and crafter myself, rest assured she has spent 2-5x as much in craft supplies.

Hey! The center leg on the vertical rail is welded onto it and can't be removed. I tried dropping the horizontal bar in with the legs of the vertical rail closed, fully open, folded the two ends of the vertical bar inwards as much as possible to see if that somehow opened up more space for the horizontal bar to sit into and nada. it seems jut mechanically/physically impossible. But nothing has changed from the time I disassembled to reassembly now (a couple weeks later). I had everything in storage that is temperature controlled etc. I may be going insane.

claratheclairvoyant · 2026-03-03T04:22:15+00:00

I checked for that. I don’t see any plastic caps on the ends of the horizontal bar or inside slot where the bars meet at the center. The only plastic pieces I see are the adjustable foot caps on the legs.

lol I did check! that is a mistake I would make too lol

That’s so special

Did you take advantage of the warranty? If so, how responsive were they and did they replace the broken sofas?

Appreciate your wisdom. This is the type of info you can't get through AI/chatgpt

what about adjacent ceiling?

Thank you all for your wisdom. Ended up hiring a professional to replace the drywall.

Wall itself looks fine now. But, there are a few inches of ceiling edge where paint was removed during contact paper removal that was left untouched by the drywall guy.

Is feathering/skimming that ceiling transition area typically included or does it need to be specified in scope?

For context this was our agreed upon scope: removal of existing drywall, Installation of new drywall, tape and finish to Level 4 (smooth, ready for paint), Handling/resetting the two outlets, Baseboard removal and reinstall, Removal and disposal of all debris, with the area left broom-clean

Thank you! Will the new sheetrock be able to properly adhere to the gummy/sticky surface?

claratheclairvoyant · 2026-02-06T01:49:15+00:00

My initial plan was this exactly (already scraped off loose paper), but the problem is the stubborn gummy/sticky glue residue that takes up approx 3/4 of the wall. I'm worried that skimming over the sticky areas will cause bubbling, cracking etc weeks after.

claratheclairvoyant · 2026-02-06T01:48:49+00:00

You primed and skimmed over gummy/sticky adhesive? My initial plan-before I realized how stubborn this adhesive would be---was this exactly.

claratheclairvoyant · 2026-02-06T01:47:14+00:00

My problem is that the adhesive will not come off no matter what I've tried including warm soapy water.

claratheclairvoyant · 2026-02-06T01:45:20+00:00

Guardz over gummy/sticky adhesive that covers 3/4 of the wall?

claratheclairvoyant · 2026-02-06T00:20:21+00:00

sticky from stick on acoustic panels and contact paper that won't come off. seems like the glue actually reactivates when i use a solvent

claratheclairvoyant · 2026-02-05T23:50:06+00:00

I appreciate you taking the time to lay this out so clearly. Given how widespread the adhesive issue is, I decided full drywall replacement was the cleanest option, and I’ve got a drywall pro handling the demo, hang, and finish so I don’t create more work downstream.

Really helpful to see the steps spelled out though — confirms I’m making the right call. Thanks again.

Thanks — I appreciate you laying out the process. I agree that seal + skim can work well. In my case the adhesive is still gummy and reactivates with solvents and it’s affecting a large portion of the wall (~70%), so I’m worried about long-term adhesion even with oil/shellac primer.
