    So after posting this comment I got kinda carried away and ended up really writing a “Plaster Disaster” song. The title would probably better fit some punkish / rocky tune but I was lazy and just went through my iTunes until I found a song with the right amount of syllables in the title, so this is…

    Plaster Disaster
    (to the tune of Walking in Memphis by Marc Cohn)

    Put on my old stained shoes
    And I set out to paint
    Took down the heater that’s not in use
    And inspected the wall quite stained
    Had to get the screws out — they were easy to unwind
    Then I yelled a loud ass “fuck it”
    - there was nothing at all behind!

    Chorus:
    It was the Plaster Disaster!!!!
    Nothing but roof shingles behind my wall
    Plaster Disaster
    I won’t save any energy at all

    We poked around the screw holes
    With our sticks and our fingers too
    Hoping to find any insulation
    But we watched them go right through
    Cuz obscurely they did not pierce things
    They just found a hollow space
    Now there’s a pretty heavy wind
    Blowing straight back in
    Creating an ice cold place.

    (Chorus)

    We’ve got paper as a table
    We’ve got paint smell in the air
    And know what I mean, you have to see this
    This just isn’t wear and tear
    This is an energy disaster

    Now Katja says “that’s awful!”
    She’s apalled by the whole idea
    And I get her indignation
    But I somehow don’t quite fear
    All the consequences
    Quite enough to take a fright
    And she said
    “Tell me won’t you be freezing soon?”
    And I said “Ma’am I am tonight!!”

    (Chorus)

    Put on my old stained shoes…
