The rear section of the main hall. This was loaded with paint and caulk.

The basement door from the rear hall finished in golden oak.

Another view of the scarf joint on the bench.

The bathroom door painted and ready to hang.

This antique bench was stripped and refinished. I had to scarf a new piece onto the stretcher without removing it from the bench.
