Or should I say I bought a stripper agent for getting the paint off the floors in the office... sorry for the miscommunication...
Yeah due to the fume-age in the office and my fear for my wife's health i've moved the computer into the kitchen for the time being. Hopefully I can get the floors going fast and strip it quickly but so far its not been an easy task. I've scraped up a lot of the paint and tried using a stripper to get some of it up but the stuff is highly toxic and the fumes get to you quickly. You have to work in 30 minute intervals too because you can only work on a 3x3 foot patch at a time according to the directions, plus its harder to do much more than that because of just the logistics of reaching the parts you've done. The stuff can be super sticky when mixed with the paint that its working on. But its coming up, the problem is i've got three layers of paint to deal with. One white around the edges from the baseboards, and then two layers of brownish paint that they used on the wood. On a few of the planks that are done, or close to done it looks really good, but it will be a few weeks of working all night before I can move this computer back in.
