This Old House and how to deal with it...


To remove old paint off old door hinges use dish soap, water, and crock pot. Let soak for several hours and dried paint will come right off. The hardware will have a rustic but clean look to it.

Beginning of a project

The most fulfilling project in a while. We are getting Baby G's room ready. Had the hard wood floors refinished and time to cover up the lime green paint with some primer. Long way to go...

New

Looking to get these Sperry Topsiders broke in so they don't look so new.

Growing up I can remember Dad referring to his shoes and the age of those shoes by what year I was born.

If a good shoe is worth buying it is worth having re-soled in my opinion. There are a couple of tailors in Newark area that will re-sole your dress shoes. I recommend a rubber sole since our snow and rain months take toll on a leather bottom.

I figure my son will look at my worn out shoes someday I can say "well I bought these the year you were born".
