A cool idea

I was looking at www.howcast.com and ran across this tip. If you have the patience (and I don't) and are feeling like you need to to something green, this is a great way to strip paint from door hardware. A crockpot, dish soap, water and a couple hours of "cooking".
Check out the video! the link is below.

Post pigout day



Here are two pics of the door hardware. The first is the before and the second is the after. I think they turned out pretty good, I used brasso and some scraping to get the last of the paint out of the cravases.
I mostly worked on the backdoor again today, I added more weather striping and a threshold gasket. There was a half inch gap between the door and the threshold and the door seep that I bought broke after two days.
