Due to my travel, I only worked till 7:00 pm. Tomorrow, I would like to change the schedule to the early morning hours. I may start as early as 6:00 am and work extra hours each day. Today, I removed the sealer from all horizontal surfaces and partially from the baseboard. Tomorrow, I will start working on the woodwork as Mr. Epstein wants me to. I have to tell you that I felt like I failed the project. Not having the air-brush, I could not show him what I really wanted to do. You see, the early 18 c. through early 19 c. every painting was painted on the red background. The colors that appear on the surface are the sum of all the colors applied. Russian Icons have a bright colors, due to the background that was gilt before even the color to the surface was applied. With the air-brush, I wanted to apply several colors so the sum of them would look very close to the color of all the surfaces finished. Unfortunately, I did not finish what I wanted to show Mr. Epstein. Of course what I showed him was raw, but I did not have a chance to change anything. You see, with the knowledge I have in Art History and skill that I have, we do not have to follow any fashion. We, or I can create a new fashion in wood finishing. Mr. Epstein need to wave the wand and is done. I have to know the outcome he wants. You could sense, that I am frustrated. The reason I wanted to seal lower cabinets and than finish them, is because they are effected by the molds. I acquired fungicide in powder and will apply it to the surface, but still
