Painting is still a no go.I had underestimated how long it would take to actually strip the paint off to a point where the surface is paintable.I would say that I am 75% done, but I think I am done for the day. Resuming the project next weekend.

Αυτό λεει συχνά η γιαγιά μου... και αυτό λέω κ'εγώ σήμερα. Από την πέμπτη ετοιμάζω τον τοίχο του μπαλκονιού για βάψιμο. Ο τοίχος έχει ξύλινη πρόσωψη και έχει τουλάχιστον τρια χρώματα, το ένα πάνω στο άλλο. Έχω αφαιρέσει αρκετή
