I have an old wishbone mirror dresser that was my great-greatgrandparents that I wish we had before and after pics of it.  My dad and I refinished it (read as stripped 50 layers of black paint off :D ) after my great-grandmother died and it was passed to him and my mom.  Why anyone would paint such beautiful wood is beyond me :facepalm: Since then I have really liked antique stuff like this :like: I have now had it passed down to me by mom and dad and have it in our bonus room with pictures and stuff like that in it :cheers:
The painted stuff is a thorn in my side. Haha But, it is job security. A lot of people back in the day didn't know how or could not afford to refinish their stuff, so paint was the cheap and easy solution. They never thought guys like us would have to undo the painting. :ahhh
And, back in the 20s & 30s, people would paint or varnish furniture to help eliminate bed bugs from the piece of furniture. Ornate and old furniture was disney land for the bugs that can hide up to a 100ft from the bed in almost anything. Paint and varnish filled the voids and helped with infestations. Now we have chemicals to help, but not back then.

That makes a lot of sense :cheers: :D

We breifly visited Tennessee on that trip and again when we came back for our 20th aniversery.
That's a beautifull area, very unlike the desert we live in.

Day TWENTY-FIVE
St. Vic and I went hiking on one of our favorite trails again today. It was part of an ultimately successful attempt to set a couple new Fitbit personal bests.

Top of the world, ma!


Precariously perched on the side of a rock ledge.


No hickory tree was harmed. I used an existing hole bored into the bark by a tiny critter.


This lush growth is on the side of a rock ridge, believe it or not.


PE blade buried in this one.


Not just a trail marker, but almost certainly an "ancient" property marker too.

Thanks guys.
Douglas, I live in NEW JERSEY. The photos show an oasis in THE most densely populated state in the union. Be careful what you wish for!
FYI, we have rattlesnakes here too.
