I cleared the calendar for the weekend and was ready to get busy... The film was so easy, I was hoping the rest would go just as fast. Agian, I did my research on the internet (what did we do before internet?) I had a weekend of paint stripping ahead of me. The previous owners had apparantly rolled paint on multiple times. But, first I had to go shopping. I wasn't very successful except for getting paint stripper. It is supposed to work in 15 mins... and let me tell you, it works before then, but you have to do it SEVERAL times.. it was a slow process and after two days of it and only getting the front of it done I took a break... here is all I have to show after 2 days...
Steve took another route, one that made it look like we had actually made some progress. He managed to get all of the windows out. Wahoo...
I got bored stripping paint, so I helped out some too.
So we still have lots to do and a busy week, but we will pick it up again next weekend. Lots of things have to be decided soon. Curtain fabric, paint colors, and bench fabric, microwave, fridge, do we want a stove or not? I vote NO gas. AC is a biggee... here in Texas we have to have it, I just don't want it hanging out the front window... we have searched into lots of options, just haven't decided yet.
