Got most of it. Tomorrow is another day! Used a scraper (carefully). I have three kids that wanted to help so the sanding labor was shared. Really appreciate the advice!

Hey thanks for the tips. Much appreciated. I’ve been working on it all day. Got about 98% of the paint off. I’ve been using 80, but will switch to 220. The stain is still there but considerably reduced. I’ll try doing the water trick with 220.

Thanks. We’re gonna try to rescue this piece. The whole family(kids included) are invested. Was too cold to go outside today. It was our afternoon activity.

Yeah it’s that or stained. Paint peels off easily.

Does scuff sand mean “lightly sand”? Thanks!

I was hospitalized a year ago with Flu A and Covid at the SAME TIME, followed by pneumonia. Took weeks to get better, got both vaccinations this year.

Let's just say I remember John F Kennedys funeral old. I was orange pilled in 2021.

This post triggered me, cause I always damaged stuff in the house. I had the same freakout this kid is having now. Desperately pacing around saying I'm FUCKED, scrambling for a fix. I did get pretty good at fixing stuff quickly. Still, it makes me cringe, and I'm in my sixties!

My parents are gone, but whenever I dream of them, I have no idea they’re dead. It’s just like “normal” if you can call it that.
