I think today's worker is the owner of the company, he certainly is the assessor.
He worked a lot later than those without the vested interest there. 😆 I finished work at my job before he did! 🤭
All the wood was sanded down and remaining nude wood given some paint. We have a test plank in the foreground of the first picture here which is painted with a second coat of paint. Seems likely we lose all the wood grain when doing that, and so will prefer the paler look where it's obviously made of wood not paint.
Won't really know for sure till it's dry. Prefer the colour a bit darker like that but if we're hiding the wood grain we might as well have used MDF instead of pine. We're after something clearly made of wood.
Another area is test-painted with just the clearcoat top varnish as a second layer. That's likely to be right, just a bit more shiny and protected.
The carpenter proper is back from holiday and starts tomorrow. He has a lot of drawers and doors to build and edging to attach to make the door panels. Still hoping at least the carpentry will be pretty much all done by the end of the week but likely some painting and touching up still to do next week. Hopefully by the end of Tuesday because I'm not really able to be here all day each day for most of the two weeks after that.

Republican Speaker Mike Johnson thinks the “No Kings” rally planned for next week is a “Hate America” rally meant to extend the government shutdown
—something someone who has never been to a “No Kings” event would say. 
The “No Kings” rally is a nationwide action with a very simple goal:
oppose the blatantly authoritarian tilt of the Trump administration.
The protests are supported by groups like the Human Rights Campaign,
the American Civil Liberties Union,

Mike Johnson Blames Shutdown on “No Kings” Protest in Absurd Rant
The House speaker is blaming the Republican-led government shutdown on Americans protesting Donald Trump. Make that make sense.

It also removes Signal from our process, replacing it with an embedded Jitsi video call component.

I fear I am living in a crap 70s sitcom.
We are having some building work done next week so we've ordered a skip to be delivered today. Also today our next door neighbours are moving out.
Skip wagon arrives about 11-ish, knocks next door who tell him that no they haven't ordered a skip but they know that next door (i.e. us) is waiting for one. Skippy rings my doorbell, delivers the skip and drives off.
90 minutes later another skip wagon turns up, rings my doorbell and says "there's no room for your skip because you've already got one". Which obviously I do.
Meanwhile the new next door neighbours are starting to move in and say "is that our skip?"
Given they're both 8 yard skips you'd think they could just deliver ours next door but apparently not as it's a different skip company. So he spent 30 minutes shuffling skips between our driveway & next door.
