One side is ready for stain and poly .... The other side of the kitchen is ready for the final sanding and a bit more heat gun and dental picking!

The green baseboard will be replaced with an oak baseboard in the same look as the original.

After many many hours, the paint is gone! I still have some spot stripping, but the rest will be heat gun, metals picks and a lot of sanding..

I've found a few "imperfections" as I pulled off the layers of paint... All of which I'm keeping!

I've been able to listen to 3 audible books so far.. so I'm catching up on my reading!

But I'm happy with the progress...

Nope, I couldn't wait.... So this is about 3 hours of heat gun fun. It's only the first pass, but I'm able to get a lot out of the crevasses with my little dentist tools!

I'll keep going around the kitchen, the wood is beautiful, it's 25 below outside and a perfect day to listen to a book on audio and give my arms a workout! I'll still sand blast in the spring, but this way it will be a light sand blasting...
