Let's see, my last post was July 7. It's now September 17.

Since my last installment, I finished up the work on the 39-330AT and 41-246 cabinets, and sealed them with sanding sealer.

And then we started house-shopping...

I was going to apply grain filler this evening to these two cabinets, but could not find my burlap - apparently it disappeared in my initial bit of packing things for the move. Guess I'll have to go get a little more burlap, as that would be easier than trying to find the other burlap I have somewhere...

So if the weather holds up, in a week or so I should have the 39-330AT and 41-226 finished. Hopefully.

Well, not quite finished...I still haven't ordered the pumice and rottenstone, and every cabinet I have refinished this year still needs to be rubbed out...
