August 2013: Garage, August 3, 2013

So, I decided to try scraping the garage.  This is what it looked like before I started:

And after a half-hour of scraping, this is what it looked like after:

You can't really see, but there's still a lot of scraping that needs to be done in that small section.  I put a call out for help on Facebook for a sander, and while I got one, I got many responses telling me not to.  I was told to rent a power washer to take care of it, or scrape it by hand.  On the plus side, it never occurred to me to ask Uncle Dan for help on this.  He's a professional painter.  He should either be able to give me tips, or come and help me do this. 

But I'm going to drag out my power washer tomorrow or Monday and see what sort of progress I make there.  Because this scraping by hand is kinda for the birds.  Which is a dumb saying, because birds wouldn't scrape the paint away!
