So. Much. Sawdust.

korafoxI pretty much have to do a decontamination scrub every time I come upstairs from working in the basement, lest it spread.
There is just enough innate animism in my philosophy that I feel really, really sorry for this poor door I'm refinishing. It's gouged all to heck, there's a big wedge taken out of one corner (that I'm going to try to reconstruct with wood putty), and a section of the decorative trim is sheared off (this, I can't fix). There are these scrabbly claw marks all over the bottom half of it that must have been either the malicious work of a human, or the result of locking a dog in that room--they go too high up to have been made by a cat. Unless it was an ocelot or something.
But it is amazing what perseverance and 100 grit sandpaper can do, given enough time. The door will still have its scars when I'm done, but it'll be whole in itself again.
