Renovating Denver – One House at a Time

Framin’ and Strippin’

Just about done with the new master vaulted ceiling. What a project, but it’s totally worth it. Even without the drywall yet, we can tell it’s gonna be awesome.

We are strippin’ the old pocket doors we found at the salvage yard. I bought this stuff called Citrustrip. It’s orange and smells like oranges. It’s supposed to be safer than other strippers. It seems to work pretty well. We’ve found the best way is to let the stripper sit on the door for 24 hours before using a putty knife to scrape the gooey paint away. A small wire brush works well to get the goo out of the cracks and crevaces. Cool, one side down, only 3 sides left!
