paint stripping, wallpaper removing and sanding. The paint stripping is the most time consuming. The newer layer strips off nicely but the old stuff is like oozing glue. Mini M took off the wire mesh from the balcony and has an idea about how to strip the paint off and rustproof it. The stove was taken out and the rooms smells of campfires or smoky tea, I love the smell. Chopped veg for tea then realised there was almost no milk left and I left the washing up liquid in the new flat. Sorted out both because shops are shut here on Sundays. You can shop in a train station but it's wild, imagine the day before Christmas and you want to buy a turkey. 

A spätii is a corner shop, they are only in bigger cities like Berlin/Hamburg.
