Why I'm not posting today..

From time to time,we get a job where we have all of the specifications,layout,choice of hardwood,and extras,minus one small detail.
What the hell color is it??
The customer hasn't decided yet.
These are my least favorite,because I can't move the product into the lacquer room until it has been stained.
So,I end up stockpiling unfinished cabinets...Plus!..When we finally do get a color choice,I have to stain the entire job at once.
It's been well documented how much I dislike staining,let alone having to do upwards of 25 cabinets without a break.
Anypainintheass,
this morning I got the word on the color for just such a job!..No color.
Yep,I've had these suckers sittin' around for 2 weeks,only to find out they just want clear lacquer.
Woo Hoo!...and crap.
My back is happy that I don't have to scrub nasty ass stain off of 4 rooms worth of cabinetry,but at the same time,now I have to seal and lacquer all these puppies one after another.
We're talkin' an all day job.
For 8 friggin' hours I had to wear the freakish gear pictured above,and shuttle cabinets in and out of the lacquer room until they were all slick and shiny..
It's noisy (exhaust fans) and wearisome when you have to go non-stop.
All I really wanna do is shower,have some chow and a beverage or 6,and veg out.
That's why I'm not posting today!..

Maybe tomorrow.
