The Filth and the Fury
Ladies and Gentlemen, just a reminder that sometime you really do need to wear a mask or respirator.
This was white before I sanded around 25 square feet of trim (1x10's around the top of the room that were salvaged from the soffits) in our hall bath. I don't know what was on this old wood, but it was absolutely filthy. I'm guessing it was a mix of dust, dirt, dead bugs (crushed), and God knows what else. It took me longer to clean the bathroom out than it did to sand the trim.
Anyhow here are two pictures of the bath post sanding. See, I really have been working on the goddamned hussy. Here is the primed end (still needs to have the seams caulked).

And here is the yet to be primed end.
There has been a lot going on this week, so I'm running behind by about two days. If I'm good, I get this room finished up over the weekend. We'll see.

Ish. You have inspired me to revisit our respirators (which have been collecting dust, rather than filtering it) when we work on insulating this weekend!
:) thanks!
Nonetheless, you are creating a thing of beauty. Very nice work.
Someday, I might bring you some Tangaray if you will let me view your progress. Please don't shoot me. I get through Atkins on the way to and from www.Tinycabin.blogspot.com
Or I'll just hide it under your house.
John,

Nadja & Sean, your welcome.
Tarr,
Come on down. Weekends are the best time to catch us. Hell, I'd even be happy email you directions if that might help.
Carl,
Thanks, and good luck to you.
