It's Copper, Who Knew?!

In the last 5% of things left to do before I can paint (which always takes 95% of the time), I'm prepping the trim in Grandy's Room. Yesterday I started washing them down, including the doors and windows, baseboards, etc. Today I continued that upper-arm-toning exercise and had reached the door that opens into the main hall which contains a transom window. Since this house has no CH/A, I want to utilize all the old methods of keeping a house cool in the South and so wanted to get my transom window working again.

Of course layers of paint had caked the hinges to the non-budging stage, and there was an accumulation of paint drippings around the rod mechanism that opens it, so off to Universal Hardware (Mobile's independent hardware store that has been in business since 1949!) to get some Strip-Eze stuff. My desire was simply to get it free of enough paint that it would open again, and also be smooth enough to re-paint.

Imagine my surprise (actually I think my exact quote was "Oh my f*&^%^% God!) when after I had dabbed a little on the rod mechanism where the paint was thickest and had started to scrape it off and spied copper gleaming through!! Why in the world did my ancestors paint copper???! Of course I immediately hopped off the ladder and ran over to The Wing (where my aunt lives) to tell her the exciting news (It's the little things, you know). Naturally, the washing-down-the-trim job was abandoned for the afternoon and on went dabs of goo onto the rod mechanism, plus any other door hardware in the room. It's proving hard to really get it nice and clean, so I may have to get enough off around the screws of the rod and remove it to really get it clean. Or maybe I'll hunt around for a wire brush; there's bound to be one around here somewhere...

I just can't believe it's copper and am so excited by this accidental find. It will look really nice, especially with the green I plan to paint the walls. I'm now also dying to know if the rest of them in the house are copper!

The home loans are very useful for guys, which want to start their own organization. In fact, that is not very hard to get a consolidation loan.

It will take very long time to reach papers writing skills. But very often, some students are pressured for time. If you really want to save time and money and receive the great quality custom writing service essays, you would search for the masters persuasive essay writing service and buy a essay right there. After that, your A+ grade is gained.

You may have not intended to do so, but I think you have managed to express the state of mind that a lot of people are in. The sense of wanting to help, but not knowing how or where, is something a lot of us are going through
