Chip the stripper

This front room has 16 windows. After they have been stripped, they get sanded, brushed down and lined up in the painting room. 


 Once a window makes it to the painting room (a bedroom with only 5 windows) then each window gets laid out on saw horses. It gets an undercoat and then 2 topcoats of gloss enamel. The undercoat takes approximately 30 mins on one side. The top coats take approximately 20 mins per one side of one window. Sometimes a bit of sanding is required between coats. It doesn't actually pay to do the maths. Fact: Richard Fidlers conversations  do make the time go quicker. 

We couldn't do it without Chip our Stripper - he strips and putties MAGIC


Our preferred paint colour for architraves and windows - Orchid.

A glimpse down the hallway of more windows. 



Our sunflowers that we planted 12 weeks ago are flowering.
