100 Layers of Paint on the Door...


I have to wonder how long it's taken to get to the bare wood.  Perhaps he's been working nuit et jour!

    Les cordonniers sont les plus mal chaussés et les peintres toujours habillés en blanc.

    Reminds me of renovating my first house which I independently bought when I was 23. I was keen, energetic and cash challenged so I renovated the house myself ........with occasional help from a registered plumber and electrician. Stripping paint is not a pleasant job and, not only were the multiple layers of old paint being tenacious, they also contained led.
    Warm wishes.

    I think Francois has been working very hard and still has a long way to go! Bonne chance, Francois!

    I would hate to be doing that job, he needs a blow torch to melt it off.
    The last post with the gorgeous scarf, I walked those streets and I think took a photo of most shop windows. They were displayed in such style. Only Paris seems to have that talent.

    Old, bare wood can be so beautiful! I wonder how he is going to refinish it.
