Coat of varnish on the bathroom door... that's the third coat. It's ready to go back up the stairs. I striped the back, but ended up pickling it by adding white paint to the poly. It's a one hundred year old door, and it's had a few events in its life. Plus, snugging up beside the chimney, the house has moved one side down a wee bit more than the other. I'll see how it looks, and then if I don't like it, I can still always paint it white...
Put the "new" light on the porch. It matches the ones in the back yard. And unlike the brass carriage lanterns, I can take the frigging glass globe off and run it through the dishwasher. (Would I ever do that? Hell yes.)
Finished striping paint off the risers and side of the basement stairs. Some left to do, but all the backs are fairly paint free. Still want to replace the treads after the landing. The smell of one hundred year old paint coming off one hundred year old wood...
Haircut at 3:30
Dinner sixish...
