    Some stuff. Not a lot, just some.
    You're going to have to take the finish off to get to the stain. Then you'll have to sand it to lighten it.

    You're basically going to have to take it back to original and start over... Like @wilcam47 said

    @SOSHeloPilot Get a quote from a hardwood floor installer to refinish it, I was offered by the guy who refinished my floors and I declined because I was obviously rebuilding mine. They're setup for it, are quick and you'll get a two step process- I'll bet will be your best price to boot

    I had a couple stair guys look at my handrails and they said it would be cheaper to have them rebuild them completely than strip and refinish. So I convinced my dad to strip and refinish them instead.

    Amarr garage door, bead style bottom seal, anyone ever replaced one and suggestions on where to buy? Replacing will be no problem, slide the old one out and slide the new one in. I prefer Amazon, but may have to go with a local overpriced company.

    I just did my first spray foam today on my barndominium. I bought from foamitgreen.com
    Each kit comes with hose,gun,tips etc.
    I didn’t finish and didn’t want to open a new kit this late and chance the hoses and gun clogg up before tomorrow.
    I’ll get some pics in am.

    I believe it, that's a very time consuming process and if you're paying by the hour...
    Looks like the ones offered at both big home stores, to me

    Nope, local Lowe’s and Home Depot only have the T-slot styles.

    Stock, 4WD, Access Cab, White,
    Couple tips on the garage door seal install. I had to do this task last January.

    Remove old seal,
    Clean the grooves.
    Get a helper.
    Spray bottle with soap & water mix. (lubricant)
    Spray the groove, be generous.
    Start the seal.
    Let the helper pull the seal, while you feed it into the grooves.
    Keep everything wet with the spray bottle.

    Started on the trex and azek, trying to get the back deck finished before winter hits up here.

    A side note: Chickens are shit at math and measuring. Terrible helpers.
