No real updates tonight—I put down both coats of polyurethane today, so I spent the whole day out of the house, and had no opportunity to take photos. But that means that tomorrow about 90% of Phase Three will be finished. I will still have to wait until the coats are dry enough to move furniture, move the TV cabinet and the piano, and then coat the remaining portions.

One significant screw up: my second batch of varnish turned out to be semi-gloss, not satin. I only figured this out after opening the can, however—too late to return (and it's painfully expensive). The good news is that the two rooms aren't mixed: satin in the dining room, semi-gloss in the living room (naturally, irony being the strongest force in the universe, it should be the reverse). I think it'll be fine, but we'll see tomorrow.
