Staining (again)

Broke out the belt sander and started on the ceiling paneling today. After sanding about 100 board feet, I applied the first of 4 coats of stain and poly seal. The first coat really soaks in quick and should only need about a day to dry before the second coat. By the time the final coat goes on, each board should shine like glass. This is going to take awhile (like all summer). Hope to complete about 100-200 board feet a week. At least the wood flooring will already be prepared and won't need this effort.
