We got a lot done, but it all went down in one day. Imagine if all jobs had such effect for one day's work like this job? I would never stop working ;-)

Huh. Maybe I should try one batch without and one with next time and see if I notice any difference. It works best if there is linseedoil paint at least in the first layers but it might just all be acrylic paint and then the linseed oil soap makes no difference

I agree that would be much better, but she would probably not make enough to afford keeping the school. Also, the people that would be able to rent something like this are not primarily the ones that are struggling

Maybe in the future but at the moment there is only one bathroom in the house and it's the one belonging to the apartment. This winter my friend's are going to rent it because they need a place to stay

No I didn't have led. However the speedheater is perfect for it because the actual stripping is safe also when dealing with led. They have had independent researchers to test the fumes and it's perfectly safe to scrape the paint off without protection. The study is on their website www.speedheater.com. the price for one is hefty but considering the cost of properly restoring windows bh a professional, then it's worth it many times over. If you are only doing windows i would recommend the cobra or the slim variant. Also you have to follow @gantelius_fonsterhantverk on instagram for tips. He is local to me but he is a global influencer when it comes to window restoration. Such skill and expertise.

However when sanding the rest you must use protection as there will be some paint residue left. But it's a quick job.

Wow! Thank you so much for all of that information! I really appreciated it. I will be sure to check out the Instagram you recommend.

Thank you! Yes when it comes to videography and editing, I am still learning. I watch Lauras channel already, and she talks and explains a lot more than I do but also has a cameraman filming her which makes it a lot easier. I am still experimenting and I have recently started pay more attention to different angles when doing the same job. But it's hard when you also try to get things done 😆

That's great! Are you going to try the homemade paint?

@@old_school_moaboa I think so… I’ll let you know when

@@AndyTausK please do if that happens 😁

Well I have only done my own floors so that's my only experience. But some small parts of my floor remained the same and on my floor my mistake was that I left some remains of the old varnish. Because the floor were so uneven it was hard to remove 100 %. Also there are some uneveness because parts of the floor had been covered up for decades. You could also try to contact the brand you use and send pictures. I sent Selder&Co one and got an immediate reply

@@old_school_moaboa Thank you for the quick response! We used the same brand so I will also try checking in with them. :)

One of the windows is finished and I can't believe the transformation!

Thank you :-) Just wait until you see the finished result :-)

Thank you :-)

Thank you 🙏🙏

Thank you, I am actually doing the same thing to a wardrobe in pine this evening. We'll see how it turns out in a vlog in a distant future 😆

To me, an original window is irreplacable. When I was looking for houses I was always dissapointed if the windows were new. It was always a no for me. So here I am. With many many many original windows in terrible state. Enough to keep me occupied every summer for a decade 😆

Oh it was! Except for a few that had disintegrated so much half of it didn't come out. It was hard to get everything out and I can't help but wonder if the old rust will "infect" the new screw. Either way. It was even more satisfying to completely restore all of the hardware. To have all of those layers removed and stripped away :-)

No, it's my home in Sweden since 2 years 😁

It's coming. I haven't done many shorts lately, been mostly on instagram. Thought I would give it a new chance 😉 but I have plenty of longer vlogs of the whole hallway reno and vlogs dating back over a year where I have worked on the hallway

Not yet, will do one after a finish the whole apartment (it's less than a quarter of the house and I've worked on it for 2 years with other things in between like repairing the chimney).

@@old_school_moaboa I got a small flat for myself last year and was looking for ideas, but only after I saw this video of yours I thought I could finally find something useful I could use 😍 hope you will post more ♥️♥️

Believe me, knowledge about this is not the issue here 😉

@@old_school_moaboa then tell everyone its a comedy and not to follow your instruction

Thank you 😁

They are quite social all of them 😆

😉

Thank you 🥰🫶🫶

In Sweden it's been forbidden to use indoors since the 19th Century so about 150 years. Either way these windows only seem to have acrylic paint on them today. It's not that common to test for lead here I guess, if your house is only 100 year old like mine because it's unlikely it contains lead. So no I didn't test and, knock wood, I am fine. If there was lead I would be very sick by now 🤢 also the speedheater I use is great for removing paint safely. But I should be better when sanding to use a mask, I once got m sinusitis when sanding a floor with a faulty dust mask

Yes definetly! I recently dropped it and the infrared light was broken. A replacement cost 150 Euros 😵 so it's been used a lot and it wasn't the first time it fell to the ground but I wish it was cheaper. The Speedheater cobra is also a good option, it's smaller but costs less. There is also one that's twice the size of mine and costs three times more 😵‍💫😵 it's called speedheater twin 😆

Yes exactly, the red houses are all over the place. I mentioned a bit about the origin of the red paint in E17. It's a residual product from the many ore mines in Sweden. Guess it depends how much you like the tradition 🤷‍♀️😀

@@old_school_moaboa Yes, I saw that friendly trip! I was very interested in knowing where this paint is from. I have one bucket left but I learned that it was possible (and not so hard) to make some yourself... Tradition is good sometimes but this red colour is beautiful always ;)

@@Vanessa-pl3br yes agreed 😁

Definetly 😀

😀😀

That might have saved me some time if I had used my speed heater. Didn't think the layers were that thick when I started 🤷‍♀️

Thank you Kirsten, there's a new vlog out now 😀 I finally put together a video about the restoration of my windows

Thank you Chloe 🙏

Yes, and that we kept our furniture for longer

😆😆😆

Thank you for saying that! I am so glad to finally get to do some decorating as well 😀

Thank you 🙏

Yes in the future, but before that I probably need to build a new garage and a permit from the municipality to move the entrance. Until then I needed to clean up this one as it was so muddy in bad weather.

Oh yes, I was quite annoyed at my ex for having opinions about our home (well aware he was entitled to these). We had so different styles that we agreed on dividing the decoration choices to one level for each of us, He had free hands in the basement and I on the first floor and then we had to compromize on the 2nd floor :-)

Thank you for the pep :-)

Thank you :-) I have never in my life been accused of attention to detail, I guess this is the only part of my life where I have that kind of focus. It's the opposite at work for example :-) There I rush more and try to apply "good enough" to get more done
