Just finished a long day at The Concord Project house. Plugged my digital camera in to look at the photos I took while there. And what a disappointment!
Here's my work - the family dog had chewed up on corner of the sill. And both of their dogs like to stand in the window and bark. So, before replacing the entire sill, I recommended we just try to make do. I sanded. Vacuumed. Sanded again. Vacuumed. And sanded again. Then wiped with a damp cloth. Did my Kilz Primer coat. Then attacked it with the Semi-gloss trim paint.
Here's how it looked after
It still needs a second coat to be finished. But you will have to believe it is 1000x's better.
Most frustrating - when I arrived home to put it together with the Before picture I tool on a previous visit:
I did not catch the sill in the before! The owners had put these items here to keep them mutts from doing any further damage. I took a photo of the mess for my Before. I should have been keeping better track of the pictures.
Moral of the story - keep taking photos! Digital memory does not cost any thing! You can always delete, but you can not necessarily recreate the ones you missed!
