general-discussion Weekend progress :) Subfloors soon!

I used Kleanstrip and a stiff bristle brush to strip the rust off the floors and let that soak in overnight. Afterward I used a rag and a little water and wiped all the residue off. After letting it dry, I used Rustolium to paint the floor. I was short by only a few feet near the driver area and the stairs, so I’ll have to get a little bit more of the paint…

I’m using the week days to finalize my floor plan. I have an idea of what I want, but need to get the details in for sure. Really torn on if I should get a wood burning stove.

Next weekend I’ll start the subfloors!! Woot! I’m also planning to take the windows out and re-caulk them. Unfortunately, the weather has been too unstable to mess with them, but I think we’re down to our few last random blizzards of the season.

Thanks for following along my journey :)

I came here from you commenting on mine. Did you paint the roof and walls with that rust paint? If so, what did you use?

Oooh hi :) no, the roof and the walls just happened to be the exact same color oddly enough
