Okay, so I got home from work around 6:30 and more or less jumped into this.
 |
| Sanding the boards... about 3 hours of "fun". |
 |
| What had I sanded so far... |
 |
| What was still left to go. |
 |
| A lot of the boards had stencils on them. |
 |
| Ten minutes, an electric sander and a lot of elbow grease later... |
 |
| After my wife got done with the first coat of stain. |
 |
| Another vantage point. |
Cutting the risers turned out to be a major undertaking, with a lot of hand cutting and fudging and measuring and... well, it was a lot of work. I spent two hours chopping up pipe before I realized I was short couplings, so I need to grab about a dozen more tomorrow at Walmart.
 |
| The ones that had couplings got painted. it's not black, actually, but a metallic "brushed bronze" |
 |
| What was left of the 12' pipe after I was done chopping it up into the 18 risers I need. |
And yes, it was night by the time that last photo was taken.
