Stripping attempts

Belle made a good point yesterday that this was the first night where we did not stop at home depot after work! That being said we really need a rake for the yard so I will be swinging by tonight.

We were both pretty tired so Monday was supposed to be a low impact 'day off'. That started off well with us delivering the keys to the apartment people for Belle's place. Stopped by the bank to deposit our Redfin rebate (how are traditional real estate companies even able to compete with Redfin, their service was awesome and the cost half as much???) and then cooked steak and mushrooms on ye olde stovee.

After dinner we talked some about kitchen and bathroom plans and which we think should come first. Did some CAD art in the google CAD tool, 1 room to scale! Afterward my second wind kicked in and I wanted to strip the paint off the interior kitchen door. We had picked up some 'safer stripper' from the Sunday home depot run so I got to it. It turns out our doors have at least 3 coats of paint on them and the stripper take off one at a time. We had white (most recent), then "Casa decrepit pink", then "Who the hell paints over redwood Yellow". I did a bonus coat in the middle to get down to the wood and as suspected really good looking Redwood...

Will scrape some more off today. Pics:
