Time to burn off the paint with a fire.
All seemed to go well, apart from the rather obvious problem. I’d already installed the floor for the oven space. So the fire only took off the lower 2 thirds of the paint!
opps! Obvious problem here.
Another fire in the top section, with the doors placed in there once the sides had burnt off solved the issue.
We burned some old garden rubbish which still hadn’t broken down after two years in the compost. The resultant ash will be used on the tomatoes and other compost piles. Our compensation for the paint fumes into the atmosphere!
Next, a tidy up and some paint. Then doors and other furniture.
Brian.
