Task: Question Answering
Input (English): Context: Taping off places that need to be protected . Once that was done , the first big task was to re - stain the woodwork . One thing I 'll say for this house is that it has nice six - panel doors , which were originally stained a medium brown rather than painted . Unfortunately all the doorframes and the baseboards ( too narrow and too obviously off the cheap builder 's shelf to be graceful ) were stained to match , setting the whole place instantly and unmistakably in the 1980 's . 
Question: What is the advantage of taping off places ?
Output (English): Taping off will retain original colors or stains and prevent a mess or over brushing .
