The work continues. Today involved yet another trip to the hardware store because we didn’t have any mineral spirits, which was needed for clean-up on today’s task.
However, with that taken care of, I was able to unwrap the door and start the first layer of stain. I plan to put on 2 layers of stain with polyurethane and be done. I also want to get this done before Saturday, so I’ll be doing a layer tomorrow morning (first coat on the other side of the door) and tomorrow evening (second coat on the first side). Then, I’ll need one final coat on the other side on Saturday morning. The door will then be ready for hanging on Sunday.
Looking Ahead
It’s all staining for the time being. Thinking further ahead:
- Saturday. Framing, moving a light switch, and possibly putting up the dry wall.
- Sunday. Finishing up the dry wall and possibly working on building the white board.
- Monday. Finishing up on painting.
- Tuesday-???. Putting down the floor.
After the floor is down, it will be time to put up the white board and install the trim. At some point, I’ll need to purchase and stain the trim too. After that, I’m all done.
