It seems promising especially as it worked once to get the country out of depression, by working on the Infrastructure.

As President Obama prepares for a Thursday address on jobs to a joint session of Congress, Sen. Bernie Sanders on Wednesday called for putting Americans back to work through a series of bold measures that include rebuilding the country’s crumbling infrastructure. As part of a four-point plan to jumpstart the economy, Sanders also said the federal government should do more to help cash-strapped states and local governments that have been forced to furlough teachers, firefighters, police officers and other workers. He advocated transforming our energy system with job-creating investments in renewable and sustainable energy sources. And he called on Congress to reconsider so-called free-trade policies that have decimated manufacturing in the United States.
"While everyone understands that we have got to reduce the deficit, the number one challenge America faces right now is a jobs crisis," Sanders said, noting that 25 million Americans, 16 percent of the workforce, are today either unemployed or underemployed. "Creating the millions of new jobs that we desperately need is not only vitally important to our economy but will be the means by which we reduce the deficit over the long term."
The centerpiece of Sanders’ plan for putting millions of Americans back to work is his call for infrastructure investment.
"Everyone in Vermont and across the country understands that we can put millions of Americans back to work rebuilding the nation’s bridges, roads, schools, dams, culverts, rail systems and public transportation, among other vital needs," Sanders said. "We also need to build new infrastructure: every community in the nation needs high speed Internet access, most need new water or sewage plants, and our antiquated electric grid needs to be redesigned and rebuilt."
Other critical elements of a successful jobs plan would transform energy systems, reform trade policies and help states and local governments.
Ok, it looks like it has some type of varnish on it, a little glossy … with the color on the wood, so i sanded the large areas with a combination of a block sander and an electric one. Now most of it’s down to the raw wood, oak is my guess. But on the two front doors it has an intricate wood carving, where i don’t want to mess up with sanding.
I bought a stripper in a liquid gel, spread it on, but the gloss and varnish refuse to come off. It is so frustrating !!
I put 3 coats of this stuff on, rinsed it off, used a brush and a spatula scraper (to get into the nooks and crannies) and nothing. It is still there … so i did a little bit more sanding, but it’s taking forever ….
What do i do now? It there a way it could be something other than varnish and polyurethane ?
How do i check, to make sure what finish is on there?
If anyone out there has furniture or cabinet refurnishing experience, please respond and let me know what you think. Or anyone who has gone thru this already.
Yeah, i left the stripper to work it’s magic the required amount of time it said on the instructions. No bubbling, nothing happened. I also covered it with some saran wrap (read it somewhere) so it wouldn’t evaporate too fast. Nada !
I’m stripping paint off my old dresser, I started with sand paper and it was taking a long time but it was making it smooh. My brother suggest I use a drill bit to remove the paint(becuase I don’t have an electric sander.) The bit really roughed up the wood and is hard to smooth out with sand paper. I want to stain the wood so is there a way to smooth out the wood after I stain it wihout sanding it down?
I bought a house in good condition but it seems like the previous owners never cleaned their shower doors. They are etched with water stains, and/or soap scum. We cannot afford new shower doors and am willing to try everything cleaning-wise to get them sparkly. So far I have tried:
Lemon juice
CLR
Lime away
Comet
Soft Scrub
Scrubbing Bubbles
Windex
Magic Erasers
Goof off! Miracle Remover
Goo Gone
Oven Cleaner
SOS pads
Corn Starch and water
A straight razor
And an electric sander, yes an electric sander, which works on the smooth side but not the bumpy side
I have tried soaking the doors in the heavy duty cleaners over night and it doesn’t work. Has anyone had anything work with this extent of water/ lime spots?
The doors are currently on my deck, covered with vinegar soaked towels. I’ll let you know if it works. Otherwise, any advice would be great. Thanks!
