My son applied the stripper and I went to Walmart and got supplies. I come back to him just finishing peeling the paint off the door. He said the stripper wasn't working good enough, so he peeled it off. Ok, not a problem.
So I sand. Yeah, that was a great idea, even if it is outdoors. I sanded the front of that dumb door for over an hour! The door wasn't finished when it was painted, so I have to sand white paint off of it. The stripper won't get it off. It's like, molded into the wood grain.
Ok, maybe I just should stick to things I know about, but this isn't rocket science. I'm not the brightest crayon in the box, but my IQ is 3 digits long and doesn't start with 0.
Anyway, we were hoping to move tomorrow, but the weather says there is 60% chance of rain. Figures. I mean, we haven't had rain in over a week while I've been busy painting, so let's just have some when I don't need it to rain!!

Gloom, despair, and agony on me
Deep, dark depression, excessive misery
If it weren't for bad luck, I'd have no luck at all
Gloom, despair, and agony on me
I learned this from Scarlett O'Hara - "Tomorrow is another day!"
It will eventually be over, HO - keep on working! Glad I don't live close enough to help!!!
