It’s amazing how little one has to show for one’s self after 3 hours of hand sanding one’s woodwork. Well, that is, unless you count a sore neck and an arm that feels like it’s going to fall off. I ripped through two sanding sponges and all I roughed up was a door frame and short stretch of baseboard. Ugh. How many sponges will it take to do the whole room?! Seriously. I think The Home Depot or Lowes should sponsor my “journey through home ownership”. I mean, clearly I’ll be sponsoring their existence at $3 a pop for a sanding sponge.

Good God, my neck hurts.
