After church (and lunch--an older couple invited me to join them for lunch. They have traveled a lot--which is neat to hear their stories--PLUS they are old enough that they remember World War II--rationing and it being over. They were children at the time. One of their mothers was paid to raise hemp for the government. She recalls her mother telling her brothers not to chew on the leaves. This wasn't bushy hemp, like we see now as marijuana plants, but tall stalks similar to corn. Speaking of marijuana today, one of my friends used to have a marijuana plant in her weeds in her back yard. She had no idea until a neighbor told her. That inspired her to finally get rid of that patch of weeds that included weed.), I stopped at Menards and bought a putty knife scraper. This afternoon, I spent another half-hour scraping paint.
As you can tell from the end of the day yesterday until the end of the day today, a LOT of progress was made! Hooray! I'm still going to try the pressure washer tomorrow or Tuesday, but failing that, it's nice to know that I have a better option. One of the chunks of paint ripped off a whole strip of wood along the bottom of one of the siding pieces. Sigh. I need to re-do my garage. I would loooove to put vinyl siding on it, but that's not a project in the budget right now.
