That looks AWESOME! That sink is perfect. Is it a Crane sink? They must have had a great design team back in the day.

You know??? I'm not sure who made the sink.
Next time I'm crawling around under it I'll really look for maker's marks.

I looked it up, it looks like it's an American Standard "companion". I wonder if the name reflects that ithas a matching toilet.

That's so weird. We just learned the name today as well.

WHOOOO HOOOOO!!!! I started priming the neighbor's hideous garage today. FINALLY.

I used "blopentine" as a wood conditioner. Oh. My. Stars. That wood was THIRSTY.
There's lots still to do, but I'm heading back to work tomorrow, and wanted to see a big chunk of progress so instead of finishing the entire scraping job, and then priming, I opted to finish a large section and prime that. I'll deal with the other stuff soon enough.
Blogged of course!

Looking Good!
Re: Greetings From Scenic Oakland!
You might have answered this elsewhere, but did you do anything to aid the scraping (chemical, heat gun, weird IR heat things, etc?)
