i'm not sure yet if it was worth almost killing myself...

...but i've finished stripping and painting our bedframe black (instead of chipped white).

in order to finish this, i had to endure:
1. three sessions of toxic stripping fume inhalation and toxic stripping chemical burns (that stuff sizzles when it gets on ya)
2. a gouge of skin taken out of my left big toe (don't ever drop a bedframe on your foot)
3. a seriously sprained knee (endangering our entire boundary waters trip)
4. toxic paint fume inhalation (resulting in several days of black boogers)

i do think it looks nice, though, so i'll have to do everything i can to make sure i don't have to repaint it anytime soon (maybe we should sleep on the couch).
