Of all my ideas, I think this was one of the most solid: painting my bike 8 days before I have to be out of my apartment. Taking the bike apart has become at least a 10-day, messy, messy ordeal, and now that it’s in one thousand pieces in my tiny room, I will be painting it lime green. I just have to get the paint now. Since I’ve never done this before, I am trying to do everything right (from watching youtube videos to wiki how-to’s – neither of which have been too helpful).
Bike taken apart and all degreased
I think the highlight has been my decision to degrease the puppy in my bathtub. My tub was seriously as dirty as this one but filled with grease. I would have taken a picture, but I was sweating so hard trying to scrape it all out. I’m happy to report that it’s all cleaned up now. However, I did feel like the cat in the hat for a while – the more I thought I was cleaning, the worse it got. I finally decided to just spray the entire thing with the last bit of degreaser I had left, and thank the Lord it worked. S/o to my roommates who have to smell the strong stench. I am pretty much high right now off the fumes. Dude, where’s my car?
Now to paint it…
