Re: [a/s] Why remove interior paint?



 call it "howling at the moon" if you like,

Thanks for all the info...I like calling it that!  That's how I feel...like 
I'm taming my "BEAR".  I agree about doing all the walls while the floor is 
in the disposable condition.  My new floor area had just a few things I 
forgot had to be done, and now I have them covered and have to be real 
careful there.  But the old floor area waits until I'm all done.  What is 
really going to be interesting is building in the custom bed in the back 
bedroom.  I'm doing a twin bed on an angle (the only way it will fit), and 
filling in the areas around the head, the foot and the back side with storage 
bins with lift-out covers (for access) and a custom-shaped covered foam piece 
that sets in the top space next to the mattress to extend the 'size' of the 
bed for stretching out (of course the bedding won't be on those foam wedgies, 
but it will give a sense of space extension anyway.  Under the bed, will be 
an "Irish" drawer...nearly as wide as the bed is long and as deep as it will 
go (toward the 'back' side of the bed)  Lots of added storage spaces and a 
bed that is firmly built-in, yet can be pulled out for changes of bed or 
bedding.  I'll put this up on the web when I'm done too.  
I have so many people involved with the re-fitting and re-decorating of BEAR 
around here that I'm going to have an 'Open House' when I'm ready (probably 
won't be completely done), and we're even going to break a bottle of 
champagne over the hitch, for BEAR's maiden voyage (for me).  
Anyhow...there's an update from the BEAR-Catcher and thanks for yours Jay.
.............Peace, Love & Joy to all - HAPPY EASTER
