>> screwed
this week’s remodeling project hasn’t been tile, no not painting, and no, not really about faucets–it’s been about varnish. yep varnish–that nasty toxic substance that you sand off, then apply, then sand off, ad nauseum, filling your house, your nasal pasages, and your lungs with varnish gunk.
but we’ve done it over the last week and some 50 hours of labor–3 coats of new varnish, sanding from 80/100 then 120, then 180 grit with each pass. and it sure looks better–not new of course, but like it’s got 60 years of life, its in its golden age.
now, before we can put the cupboard doors and drawers back, we’re cleaning the hardware instead of buying new (what a concept!)
so far i’ve spent 4 hours over the sink scrubbing old finish and smegma off. it’s about all done except the screws. 10 screws per cupboard door and there’s 14 doors, plus 2 screws on each drawer handles! that’s enough screws to take the skin off your fingertips, the song off your tongue, and your let’s get on off to bed.
so that’s what i’m going to do now–(no not get it on or go to bed!) i’m gonna make some homemade chai with whiskey and get screwed. want to join me? there’s room at the sink!
