Painting Older Toronto Home, sometimes an adventure
admin December 13th, 2009 No Comments
Painting older homes is always an adventure – you never know what you are going to find or discover!
One of our teams was painting a home in Toronto originally built in the 1920s. There is always a lot of prep work to be done when painting these homes – many cracks to fill etc. During the prep work on one of the bedrooms, we found something very interesting! It seemed as though a name had been embossed on the closet door. Clear to us was the name, “WENDY WOO”. This brought upon much discussion as to what this meant, who had written it, how old was it? The history of the house was right there in front of us. As many owners of older homes like to keep old feeling and charm of their homes, we felt it necessary to make sure they wouldn’t want to keep this keepsake from years past.
They gave us the go-ahead to fill in the area with some patching compound and alas, Wendy Woo was gone forever!
