I think I'm still high from all the Cabot fumes. Last night marked my 3rd consecutive day of staining our brand new cedar siding boards that we received last week. I spent over 16 hours this past weekend staining, and thankfully the weather held out long enough on Sunday for me to do 54 boards all by myself. In 2 hours last night, 3 of us finished about 65 more and there's still 20 or so to go! I should be able to finish that last bit tonight, but after spending Sunday and Monday night in the garage surrounded by the fumes, I think it's starting to go to my head. ;-) And of course it's been rather humid lately so this stuff is taking forever to dry and I'm running out of place to put them to dry! They're spread all over the garage and many are even leaning up against the tractor to conserve space. So no parking in the garage for a bit longer! We're hoping that the carpenter will start the siding work in the next few days, but we still have more stuff to do before then like take down the outside lighting fixtures and getting a dumpster delivered to throw away the old siding. All I can say is thank goodness we're doing a significant part of the house with stone. No need to stain that stuff!
