The other day I was taking a shower, and realized I don't have to live in a house that looks like the Texas Chainsaw Massacre house. So I got a scrub brush and got all the yeuch out of the tub. M had previously used white spray paint to deal with mold. Not the best method, nor does it work.
I got the most egregious of the poo, but I'm going to have to get a sander or something to get all the paint off the shower stall. He'd also spraypainted the tub, but that came off with a simple sponge.
Next came roller replacement on the shower doors. They seemed to be about stock circa 1972. One was missing, and the "Solution" was to leave that door stationary. Both doors now roll freely. I also had trouble with the snapped off door handles. The stubs of the handle had been left in place to slice hands. CLR is a calcium lime and rust remover, and not good to get directly on your hands. WD-40 is water displacement formula 40. Most people use it as a lubricant, but it is also a fairly efficient penetration oil.
One door needed CLR and WD-40, but gave in, albeit stubbornly. The other one laughed at WD-40 and CLR. I gave it repeated treatments, scraped away gunk, and gave it time. After a week I'd lost my patience and broke out the saw. The screw was tough as hell, I was wearing the blade down while it laughed at me (Yes, the blade was designed to cut metal)
However, the vibration of the saw loosened the screw enough that I was able to remove it with my fingers. So Project One: Operation Shower Door is complete.
Project Two: Operation Shower Shell is in preliminary planning stages. So far I'm thinking solvent and sandpaper.
