I want to put new oak down in the rest at the same time. I am concerned that they will take stain differently. I am thinking I will have to pick different color stains.

Yes, it is nice to be able to afford to pay someone else to do the work but, it would have cost around $1500 to hire workers to do the job! I had the time and the know-how so why not just do it myself? I agree on the painting. I recently did a lot of painting and it can be a real pain.

While it's good to be Handy, it sure is nice to be able to afford to hire professionals, that's fer shure! I once taped and draped my kitchen and spent 2 weekends carefully painting it and not getting the cabinets and floor and such dribbled. This was a rental and I was on the road a lot and could only paint it on the weekend. My shoulders hurt and arms and neck..stiff. When it got to the living room which wasn't as taping-intensive I thought, ugh. I cannot deal with this. And I ended up calling a handyman friend who had better tools and I went outta town and came back to a nicely painted living and bedroom. Glad I could afford it and it was worth it! A Canon G9? A friend has that model - LOVES it. Dang. While it’s good to be Handy, it sure is nice to be able to afford to hire professionals, that’s fer shure!
