My self-assigned project today was to clean up my pantry. This is a set of shelves and drawers to the right of my tiny kitchen area. It is old; the original 1960s woodwork from when the place was built. Here’s the pantry now, after cleaning and reorganizing.
It was really grungy and stained, and there was a lot of stuff that I had collected during the pandemic and no longer used. I scrubbed every surface and reorganized and threw a bunch of stuff out.
I was complaining about those drawers there, way back in 2019 when I first moved in. I noticed that the old wood of the three drawers had a nasty odor. I took the drawers down to the resident shop, sanded the interiors and coated them with varathane varnish (Day 251). I often think how I should pay Valet or somebody to rip them out and make nice builtins, but why.
Later I did some guitar work and some reading.
