But I have to admit, I was totally convinced you named him after Fritz the Cat! It seemed logical... :-) But kind of nasty. So I'm glad to hear that wasn't the case!

Firstly, I'd like to express my admiration of the blog as a whole -- very nicely done. I find it frustrating when I don't think you're blogging enough! It's the perfect way to vicariously experience renovation (which everyone complains about, but I love). I can't stop e-real estate shopping in the area; it looks positively lovely. Really just a diverse urban area ... reminds me of how I remember Chicago being in the 80s. You must be weary of Newburgh wannabes asking you all kinds of asinine questions, but I have a few to throw on the pile. Thanks again for a good read. If you have a chance, I'd love to email you a few quick questions. Dear Anna,

It's basically just a patching compound that dries very hard and without cracking, so it's great for filling in large gouges and holes in wood. You put it on with a spatula, let it dry, and sand smooth. It's not meant to be stained, so it's best for surfaces that will be painted. One thing it's NOT good for is repairing large rotted areas in wood (common on old windows, especially if you don't have storms). If you have old rot, you need to remove all of the rotted material, and patch with a two-part epoxy consolidant. There's a good outline of how to do that <a href="http://www.hereandthere.org/oldhouse/fixing-decayed-wood.html rel="nofollow">here</a>. Hope that helps! :) rachel: What I wrote actually is that I use it on window sashes (the frame that moves up and down on a double-hung window), but you could absolutely use it on a sill, too.

It is great to learn about your product recommendations...it is so confusing trying to make decisions between brands and types when standing in that paint prep aisle at the hardware store.

What a great job you did. I always have a trusty can of black spray paint on hand but I usually buy the cheapest one, bc I've always thought they were all the same! (but those cheap cans' triggers get clogged and stuck)...so I'm definitely going to try this paint on some side tables I have in storage instead of sending them to a professional!
