Italian sausage is better than Brats...

But the idiots? <sighs>

Those we can't control.

I see that our museum downtown is getting an addition.

I've contacted one of the contract painting restorers to see if she can clean a painting that's been in my family for a while.
 
Conservators are bad ass people. It is amazing to see them work pulling dirt and grime from paintings.

I freak out when I am doing it with photos. I don't know how those working on paint, especially oil paintings do it!

I have no idea if this painting is worth 20 bucks or more. But it's been in my family since I can remember. My parents were smokers and it needs a cleaning.
 
It can be a bit pricey. It is also time intensive.

If you have any other paintings you don't care about you could buy the products yourself and do a test run. It basically comes down to finding the right cleaning solution for the painting then carefully apply the clenching solution then the neutralizing solution.

It is an inch by inch kind of thing. You can't pour, or swab, you have to dab and roll, and can't reuse the implements (usually cotton swabs/cloths)

I've watched it done. It is fascinating.

If you have the cash and the time (and can find a professional willing to do it) you will undoubtedly see a major difference.

Make sure you take some before and after pictures. Those are always fun.

Also, I don't need the bun. Gluten free ya know :cool:

Nah. It is nothing to be helped with.

Just the life of a single person. One could easily substitute many other subjects into that sentence and it would still be correct.


i.e.

I don't understand green tea!

It's easier to understand than women.

Have a good day.
