Estates before and after (pic heavy)

[DanLAXX1]

Hey guys, here are some of my estates before and after giving them a thorough cleaning (restoration). All things considered, I think they've come out pretty well! This has turned into something of a hobby. If there's interest in my step-by-step process, I will gladly post up a tutorial.

Awesome job on those, I really enjoy restoring estate pipes as well. It's fun taking something that looks old and beat up and bringing it back to life and looking new again.

Thank you! It's extremely rewarding. I've thought about buying then selling some but it's hard to part with something after that much time and effort goes into it. Well, at least for me.
