Just stainin'

Well, my father-in-law (who is the real builder) is out of town, so the construction stuff is sort of on hold (which is why I haven't posted in a while). But we have been doing a lot of staining of our shiplap siding. We're pre-staining it before putting it up, so we can seal the entire board from the elements. It sure is time consuming though (especially staining a 16' 1"x8" board).

If you look at the second picture in the previous post, you can see a few long 2x4s hanging horizontally between the walls that we framed. That's our siding drying rack. Because it's still cold outside and the paint has to cure in above 45 degree weather, we can only stain in the basement where the heat is. So we're staining away - slowly but surely.
