Saturday/Sunday, 31 January/1 February 2009

Paul has been paint stripping this weekend, once he'd found where he'd put the Nitromors for safe keeping! The newel posts on the top landing were found to be two nailed together, one was hardwood and the other pine so obviously that wouldn't match when stripped and waxed. The hardwood one is to be replaced with pine when the rest of the bannisters/rails are renewed.

Besides the newel posts, some of the strings of the stairs were stripped but he had to give up when he wore out his wire brush.
