Mau, you said

Quoting:about those steps--you must be trying to go for the "bruised" look--black and blue. (Sorry about that--I couldn't help myself.

See the below picture. It doesn't show the black so much as the blue, but yet again, the color in my pictures never shows up quite right. This looks a lot more blue than it really is! I put the 4th and final coat of floor poly on the treads and the risers.

I think, I really do, that so many people have so much time to be on their computers, that the least you could all do is come here and help me! I've got 27 balusters, 2 handrails, 2 shoerails, 2 newel posts and 1 half newel post that need stain and then gel urethane. Currently, I'm working on a DVD/VCR cabinet that will need a few coats of the same gel urethane. The doors to said cabinet need another coat or 2 of Milk Paint put on them. I've also got a few pieces of wood work to stain and poly. The servant stairs need poly put on the edge risers. 3 coats will work good. If you could stay for at least a month, the floors upstairs that aren't already re-finished, will be sanded on Jan. 9th, so then we can stain the front area, spare bedroom and hallway, paint the back area where the servant stairs are, then we can apply 4 coats of the floor poly. Takers?? Anybody? Anybody??

Frozen bananas...yum, especially when dipped in chocolate and then rolled in peanuts before they freeze!

Kwan, about the boxes...just how long have those boxes been stacked? You said since moving in? I've still got boxes stacked too. We moved in May of '05. sigh. They give out money for improvements? Do we have to pay it back?? LOL!

Geez and on the Christmas shopping...I've still got a basketball to buy for my nephew and I need something for my BIL. Then of course, I haven't wrapped anything!! I don't have time. Our daughter told me today that I never should of put in "a garden". We should of just stayed inside working on the house! She says enough already! And I have to do all this myself...why? Oh yea, because I love doing it!! ROFLMBO! Life is grand in this 111 yr. old house!! Seen 'It's A Wonderful Life' lately? That house is my house....lol.....

Oh wait, one last thing.....if nobody wants to come and help me, can somebody please just come and clean for me?? It'll be fun! There's enough dog hair for somebody to make at least 5 more dogs!!
