WAYWT - The Hard Labour Edition aka "Working in your workwear".
-
Here you can see the vast difference once stripped. Some spots are easy, some are caked on and cracked badly. This hoise was never kept up with much, if at all. That includes about 4 generations I believe…..

Besides tons of sweating, the only time I'd say tough was last night. Hunched over the rail cleaning that area for about an hour to hour and half with my back screaming in pain. Going back at it later after installing a new window upstairs.

I'm looking forward to the day when my UHR become work jeans.
Mine became workwear sooner than I had planned. After the initial soak, I followed instruction, and gave them a machine wash. Unfortunately, I neglected to change the water level setting on my top loader. The agitator had its way with them. They were covered in slashes of missing indigo. I figured some time at work would help. It did. The marks are far less noticeable, now.

As promised here are some photos of what I do. Unfortunately it was 90+ degrees, I wore Wranglers. I'll grab a selfie in one of the pairs I wore later and post it here.

What all this is, in the first photos are a boost pump, large filter, water softener, carbon tanks, which remove chlorine that the city puts in. Then the RO which removes 99.9% of everything else from water. From the RO, the water goes through a UV light into a storage tank, pumped through filters to remove dead bacteria, out to a loop that will feed Dialysis machines, then return and merge with the water that goes to the UV light. The process is a bit more complicated, this is the 99 cent version.

Wow.. complicated stuff [emoji848]

Well into stage two of this summers project. Building about 60m2 of decking over two levels. Some of it will be attached to pre-existing structures while some is "floating". One of the things you have to take into account in northern Norway is that the ground will be frozen to a depth of 100-150cm for about five months of the year. The ground therefore expands and the level rises by as much as 2cm, before falling again in May. This means any structures resting in the ground without an appropriate fundament are subject to being lifted and dumped down over the course of a year.
Had to change work pants as the 666XHS were dangerously close to crotch blow out. Using my 555N which are a bit looser in the waist and top block than I'd like. They only had about 40 days gentle wear on them and weren't showing much fading at all when I started using them.

Great project! And the jeans are looking good too!
