02-10-2011: Stain, day 2 (problems)


They started staining cabinets this morning. Everything was going great until this afternoon when they went back to the paint store to pick up another gallon for the last of the kitchen cabinets and the doors/drawers. It seems that a local high school had just been in and bought all 60 remaining gallons of the base stain we needed from all of the stores in town. It will now be Monday before the stain is back in stock. They would have finished tomorrow. Now it will be Tuesday or Wednesday. What really sucks is that I'm really not that thrilled with how it looks. I just hope that they can even things up a lot and that the lacquer will tone it down a bit. It's actually quite a bit darker than it looks in these pictures.
Rick is almost finished with the tub area and has been working a little on caulking drawers and trim. He'll probably start working on the stairs very soon.
The paint is on hold until the cabinets are finished and the paper is removed. If these cabinets turn out as dark as they look now, we'll have to go lighter on the paint colors.
