Week ending 5/28/10

On Saturday, we did 2 hours each of sanding. I hate sanding. It's physically demanding, boring as heck, tedious and unrewarding. The back door is done and I estimate we have about 23 hours to go on sanding this coat as follows:

4 interior doors at 4 hours each
3 bedroom sliders at 2 hours each
1 kitchen slider at 1 hour each


This is why shellac takes so long. It's taking 27 hours just to sand one coat, and this coat only touched 6 of 11 windows, 1 of 3 exterior doors and 4 of 4 interior doors. For the windows and exterior doors, they have to be done in sections to avoid wet surfaces touching, so it wasn't even a full coat on those parts.
