Sawdust follows me everywhere.

That's not flies. It's dirt particles. Plus the shades... You gotta have the shades. And what's with him looking happy.

Have you ever known me to be happy? 😜
 
First interesting (for me at least) project in a while: door replacement on an 1895ish building downtown. Original mortise locks were failing, and all of the exterior doors are rotten to some extent or another. The jambs and the sidelites are a single unit, seems to have been built on-site. Bought solid alder doors and trimmed them to fit, bored them for modern hardware, added a third hinge, and painted them with PPG Command. Two down today, going back for the last one tomorrow morning so the office can open Monday. Definitely need to get back in the gym, 3/0 8/0 doors didn't used to feel that heavy 😅.
