Scraping Paint
I have a bad case of inherited DIy syndrome. My father is the king of build it yourself or rebuild a used one, and apparently I got every one of those genes from him.
I wanted teak registers for my install, but had settled with the fact that I could only afford the $8 special from Home Depot. So the other day I went to the resale shop and found this $10 vent. It was on clearance and was 70% off so it was a whole $3.25 with tax.
It had long been painted black and I thought about how to clean it up. I thought it was cheap 80’s plastic but turns out it’s teak, (or at least wood of some kind).
So this is my tinker time pass today. One of these days I hope I can just start buying new stuff without feeling bad about spending money.
