Back to Work

Finally got back to my projects after a long holiday weekend of traveling. I must be getting old—it took me TWO DAYS to recover from the trip! Gah!

Today I started repairing the wall I scraped last week. While I waited for that to dry, I decided to start priming some of my stair risers. Here's my pooch showing off my work!

Once I finished that up, I decided to start picking at the closet door at the bottom of the steps. I suspected that it had been stained at one time as well and that the paint might readily come off. My suspicions were confirmed! Made one heck of a mess, and thought I'd put my kid to work (actually, she volunteered!). She was pretty good at vacuuming my mess when she wasn't using the hose to suck on the hem of my shirt! She thinks she's pretty funny...

You can see here that the door is pretty well stripped; just some fine detail work to wrap up. Some of my wall patch work is also visible here.

And lastly, I finished priming my balusters today! I'm getting pretty excited about this little project. My brother-in-law loaned me his air compressor and nailer and I am really looking forward to getting them installed!

Guess that'll do it for today. My back is screaming at me, "Enough! No more for today!"
