Yeah, I don't like doing the same thing over and over. Thankfully the time needed to do the work isn't bad at all. But, waiting for the drying has been a pain. I'm pushing to get this done as soon...

I had a problem with one of the four boards again. This time I more carefully examined them before putting the poly on. It seems I was putting the stain on a bit too thick. I was doing this to try...

I started sanding down the boards last night. 80 grid on my random orbit sander made the job go pretty quickly. That is until the foam pad on my sander sheared in half. I guess the foam was too...

Woo, thankfully none of mine is as bad as those. I actually haven't searched on it. I used the same brand stain and polyurethane, so I assume they'd play nice with each other. Moisture and...

You're correct. Its not hooked up yet.

I finally found some LEDs that I like and that don't buzz. Ironically, they're just a lower output version of the Sylvania's that I had before. The first ones I tried were their RT6-HO, these are...

I am stapling through the tongue. I agree, a 18 gauge staple would be great. But, the gun only shoots 20 gauge. The next flooring stapler I could rent shoots 16, and that is too big for the...
