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.

You are aware that we all have potty envy. We await your report.

Freud would have a lot to say about that statement.

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!

You might have answered this elsewhere, but did you do anything to aid the scraping (chemical, heat gun, weird IR heat things, etc?)
