That's a fair point too. I certainly don't usually aim to look brand new, just some TLC that still allows for some of the history to also be seen. The advantage of this being old is that it's all solid timber, no particle, veneer, panels etc. So I can hit it pretty hard.
As Marafon said in another comment, sanding is the eternal task. Reminds me of the Orson Welles quote "If you want a happy ending, that depends, of course, on where you stop your story."
I feel like I'm not quite where I want my ending on this one yet, but will get there at some point.
It's especially bizarre and frustrating to hear this one constantly too, because most other regions on this list have extensive sanction regimes placed by the UNSC, justified or not.
The real reason Gaza stands out here is the veto of any meaningful action on the part of the UN. The public outrage is in direct proportion to this institutional inertia.
This is awesome, and the rest of your portfolio is really cool too!
