Years ago I had removed the carpet from the stairs. I loathe carpeted stairs, after having fallen down several, I no longer will have them carpeted. This is what it looked like this morning at 8 am.
This is what I'm using to stain/varnish the stairs with. Hoping it will actually save me time. This is my first time using this product. In the past I have always done several coats of stain, then several coats of varnish.
The stairs are about 75% done at this point...stained every other tread so we still have access while the other 1/2 of treads are drying. I was unable to finish myself as my hands and wrists began to swell. I really hate that, it makes everything so difficult. An unfortunate drawback of the disease. :(
So very grateful for George being home. He finished the last two treads for me. Getting ready to do the next set of treads this afternoon. Total drying time is about 6 hours. Hoping to get it all done today along with a 2nd coat to dry overnight.
