July 14 marked a turning point… we were finally going to start getting somewhere.

the doors

episode iv: sometimes a little stain is a good thing

First, as it had been a week since the doors had seen any action, I Dyson-ed, then wiped down the doors with mineral spirits (and none of that synthetic stuff: I had learned my lesson), and then it was time to get serious:

A friend and I bought matching shirts one day out together, it may have been 1999 or 2000. I got a bit of paint on mine in 2004 or so, and it has become my de-facto let’s-get-messy shirt.

Anyway.

Staining is easy: paint on, wipe off; paint on, wipe off. The hardest part was getting in all the cracks.
