We moved into this house almost five and a half years ago. And I’ve finally got all the banisters varnished.
To be fair to myself, I got the ones at ground level done years ago, but since then there’s always been something more urgent to do first. And of course banisters are almost entirely awkward little corners, so it wasn’t a small job. In fact I started ten days ago, and I’ve spent most of my mornings on it ever since.
Which makes me all the more pleased to have it finished.
