It is finally 2022, and fortunately COVID-19 has finally died down (or at least fewer people care about it). The good news is that more people are better protected against them, so who has time to be doing anything around the house? And let's be honest, if you did not improve your house in the last 3 years, there is probably not much chance for it.

| Old paint on the trim |
Anyways, back in February when we got our Omicron strain, I went back into painter mode. So, in March I got around to repainted door trim since it has been neglected for 10... or 20 years. The old paint started to peel off from simple touch and several areas have ripple out, so time to get cracking again.
Because the paint is quite old, it was not too hard to remove the old ones. I was able to use mostly 5-in-1 painter tool to scrape out old paint on the entire door trim. No need to use Orange chemical -- Citristrip paint remover. It was nice, since there is no additional clean up. However, it did still take few hours to remove the entire thing.

| After stripping out the old paint |
After scraping, everything was easy enough -- applied couple layers of Zinsser Bulls eye 123, then paint it BM Advance. The result was quite reasonable, since I did not attempt to sand down anything to make it flush. I did think about doing so, but time outside the house after staying indoor all time is also very exciting! Maybe in the future I will do so. Hopefully before another 10 years. :)
