Difficult doors, continued

I wish I could say I had finished cleaning off those two doors in the (future) kitchen, but sadly I haven't made much headway.

Tuesday morning

After working all day Tuesday

 The original wood is really starting to show itself but there is still so much paint residue left to scrub off, it's hard to say when this project will be done. While I waited for paint stripper to work its magic, I started scraping windows. This picture shows the kind of crap I spent my day dealing with:

What is that in the window sill?

Oh, it's an entire window's-worth of broken glass. Great.

All the trim is peeling paint and the sills are filthy and filled with broken glass. I cleaned out the broken glass and scraped as much of the paint as possible but without a vacuum and and electric sander (and electricity) I didn't make noticeable progress, other than to clear away the obvious danger of shattered glass everywhere.

Mark and Trevor made great progress while I worked on the future kitchen's trim and doors. They finished cleaning out both the second and third floors of trash and old, broken furniture. We're not sure how this couch ever made it into the third floor in the first place, because it absolutely would not fit out. It had to be broken with a sledgehammer before being shoved down the stairs.
