Day 912 She did it

7th February 2020

The garage disappeared in clouds of sawdust.

I had my goals for the day. The pedestals had to be stained, and the dresser had to be finished ready for listing on Marketplace for the weekend traffic.

I applied the first coat of stain to the tops and set them aside for four hours to dry before I could apply another one. It’s going to be tricky to match the dark finish of drawer fronts, so it will take time to get it as close as I can.

I then sanded the dresser drawer fronts back to the bare cedar. I made sure that I had my mask and cap on because as the day progresses I change colour.

Kelli painted the carcass and I cut out a upstand for the dresser top.

What I didn’t know was Kelli had painted the doorway with the bright red paint we had left from painting the front door.

It looked great, it framed the entrance way perfectly and continues the theme of forever changes(which is a great album title)
