Yes, we have lollygagged, footdragged and whined enough.
We have some staining to do--a whole lotta staining to do. We were even going to stain on Thanksgiving morning, but our lollygagging overtook us then as well. But yesterday and today we have been machines.
Ann varnishes (two coats with a light sanding in between) upstairs in the bedroom previously stained boards (pictures tomorrow). Pith Boy works on fresh boards downstairs.
The stain, as reported earlier, is sweet citrussy smelling. Well, that's outdoors. Indoors it's like getting squirted in the eye with a combination of lemon juice and battery acid. Plus it makes my nose run. This is in keeping with our organic approach to house building but does not reflect well upon the outcome, at least as far as the boards are concerned.
We will be running at the nose for the forseeable future.
In other news we made a major shift in who's going to do the tile. At this moment we have no one, but hope to have an installer by early next week.
In the meantime we'll be astaining.
