Scraping Paint and Sanding

I've been scraping a lot of paint lately. The window woodwork, doors, and baseboards are getting scraped and sanded.There is only ..... Mmmmmm ... about 4 layers of old paint and varnish on all the wood but progress is coming along.







Here is a picture of the small window on the first floor landing by the front door. It was my first effort and it came out nicely. I was pleased.

OK... I haven't been blogging much. I got distracted. (Yeah, yeah... distracted for half a year or so. I'll do better).

At 'the Beast' since Saturday and currently working upstairs on the second floor. I removed the doorway in the hall which is the last remnant of there being an apartment on the 2nd floor. Hoping the removal of the doorway will make it look more like the single family dwelling it was meant to be... and open up the hallway... making it roomier and let in more light.

That door still visible in the picture is a stupid closet that the previous owners had built at the top of the stairs... on the landing. The closet is the next demolition project.

I am going to restore the stair railing and it will be part of the landing again. Nice place for a bookshelf, a chair and lamp....
