We have liberated the bathroom.
It wasn't really under any kind of restraint, other than it had a door.
Did you catch that? It had a door. Well, wait. It still has a door. The door is what's been liberated. It's been freed from its hinges. And layers of paint.
Bill took the door off the hinges and took it to the basement. There he coated it with eco-friendly paint remover. I continued removing the paint off the trim in the hallway.
We're removing the paint, wait for it, so we can paint.
There are only so many layers of paint you can put on before it no longer looks good. Especially when your house is from the 1920's. That, and the last few layers weren't really done well. It was as though the owners were in a hurry to sell the house and sort of slapped on some paint in places that needed it. The problem with that is it shows. In a bad way.
So we're working on removing it. Then we'll paint a nice fresh coat. It will be purty.
In the meantime, for a short while, we don't have a door on the bathroom. It's sort of liberating in its own way.
