We use "shell white" semi gloss on the woodwork.

I'm another victim coming out of the wood work that was tangled in this ongoing sad mess of epic proportions.

When they're lonely they  chew on our woodwork.

By the way , Thanks for the input guys, every since 2011 when the judge over turned that ruling, the ambulance chaser have been coming out of the wood works and i get mailings to my house from lawyers doing mass mailings asking me if i have resided in a residence where lead my have been present.My father , whenever he buys a property, he guts it completely and has the xrays done so he doesn't have to deal with it .

It´s insured at 2x of the asking price because of irreplaceable woodwork.

Smoke remediation requires cleaning not only the surface smoke, but also all that permeates into the HVAC system, ductwork, crevices, openings from electrical and plumbing, ventilation units, light fixtures, appliances, cabinetry, countertops, carpeting, carpet pads, walls, and woodwork.

Probably because of what you point out: you end up with unfinished cabinets... which is where most of the work is.What if you just paint the cabinets and woodwork as you are building them?

Now it seems like they're all coming out of the woodwork!

Otherwise a child or other relative can come out of the woodwork and claim it is their inheritance and create a larger hassle than anyone would want to take on.  

In my experience, DIY homes, even if done by someone with "experience" are horror shows.We recently renovated a high end rental unit, that was previously owner occupied by a cabinet maker and wood worker.
