The Strip

Whoever said that stripping paint off of a house was easy work… well actually, I’ve never heard anyone say that!  There is a simple reason.  It is a hard, labor intensive, time consuming task that is generally better suited for someone else.  In other words, normally I would hire someone to do it.  However, the last time we did that I was less than pleased with the staying power of the job.  So it is here that I have been for the last month offering my body and energy to the protective coating over this wonderful 1908 Craftsman home.  I’ve decided to do it the way my grandpa Graf did it.  That is, one wall at a time, every couple of weeks, every year, year after year.  So far everything is going ok.  It just takes a while.  My hands are pretty sore. So, I’ll check back in with you later with an update. For now, here are a few pictures to show you what I’ve been doing.  

All the best,
