Two weeks ago, I took off cabinet doors and hinges. They were sanded, caulked, primed, prepped, laid out, painted, dabbed, touched up and finally set out to dry. My garage looks like a cabinet door depot, each door leaned perfectly against the wall, touching only at the corner, angled out just so to prevent touching. This is where my precious doors have been for exactly one week.

Shocking discovery: those doors are nowhere near dry.

I have determined that latex paint really struggles to dry in a hot garage. I mean – sure, eventually, I'm sure it'll dry, but not any time soon. I thought that the phrase was, "If you can't handle the heat, stay out of the kitchen!" Ironically, it seems that in order to avoid the head, my cabinet doors should be in the kitchen!

This means that my plan of action for the weekend is to finish lining all of my cabinets with shelf paper, take everything that was once in the cabinets but is now in the office and sort through it to determine what stays and what goes, then re-load the cabinets, leaving the office empty, so that I can line the office with doors.

I am convinced that this project is much like that song, "It's a Small World." It just gets more annoying as time goes on...
