Made a Blog

Figured that I would document some of my attempts at cleaning up some of the estates I get.

Not much yet, but I hope to add more stuff as I go along.

Don't follow too closely. I am rather new at this as well.

Just having some fun and sharing what I am doing as I go. Seems all I have found online about cleaning estates is lacking photos. Hope to fill a gap with this blog.

I think you're doing just fine! One suggestion: I read recently that a pipe restorer recommends against using bleach at all for fear that it compromises the structure of Vulcanite, which is the most common material used in older (and newer) pipes. One guy I know recommends OxiClean in a 50% solution that works just as well and reduces the "fuzziness" of the soaked stem you often get with bleach.
