What’s A Chore That You Started That You Didn’t Realize How Big It Would Be Till You Were Doing It?

I started lubricating squeaking drawer glides and door hinges, a total of 95 for the entire house....Probably one can of WD-40 won’t be enough for all of them. And that stuff stinks to high heaven, think it’s gonna take a few days.

Removing decades of paint from the cupboards in the kitchen. Big kitchen, lots of cupboards. Shudder.

They were beautiful natural pine when finished, but it took forever and a day.

@Mamapolo2016 sounds like a huge chore.

@cherokeepatti I had no idea.

@Mamapolo2016 You can take a piece of furniture and put it out on a porch or in the garage and strip the paint off and that’s a chore in itself. But i can’t imagine how hard it would be to do all of the cabinets inside the house.

@cherokeepatti It was a nightmare, but I was proud of the results, when I could bear to look at them again.
