Oh, Our Achin' Backs...

These pictures are taken of our bedroom before we started removing the paint
and various weird spots of who knows what from the concrete floor.

I don't know what this brown stuff is, some kind of glue, I think.
It came up much easier than the paint.

Here's a hard-working young man using Prosoco's Fast Acting Stripper
on the paint around the edge of the room. (A plug here for the products
our company sells.)

Not a picture that you see very often -- me on the end of a mop.
This is the most I've mopped in years!

You've heard of waiting for paint to dry. This is waiting for paint to
remove itself from the floor. First, you brush on the product, wait, spray on water,
then wait, then wait some more, and then get a mop and go over it until the paint
is gone. It seems like it takes forever.

Other than our hurting muscles, it doesn't seem we have a lot to show for today's work. However, if we didn't clean the floor properly before staining, it would definitely show in the final result. We're taking a break for now to go over to the James' house and work on another floor. Hopefully more pics tomorrow of our floor -- all sanded, smooth and ready for the acid stain.
