I finally got around to putting 3 coats of water-based urethane on the baseboards and quarter rounds I’ve cut for the ensuite bathroom. I still haven’t decided whether I’ll glue the moulding to wall with “liquid nail” glue or use nails. I guess it depends whether I can hold the moulding in place while the glue cures with clamps or heavy cans.

I bettered my counter-clockwise running time by a few minutes around my usual circuit. I have to run up all the steeper hill parts in the last third of my run when I go this way around. Running the route clockwise changes those steep hills into descents. The elevation change going up in the last clockwise third is more continuous and gradual.
