redbear, day 2

so forgot to take before pictures.
and then pictures after the carpet came off.
and pictures after i used goof off to get the furry off.
and pictures after i tried unsuccessfully to start sanding it down.

i could have avoided all that typing by just saying i forgot to take pictures.
but when i was halfway though it, i felt like it would be wasteful for me to delete it all and start over.

anyway, i went to lowes today and found this really rad stain on sale for like $4 when all the other ones were $10. i was originally going to stain it black but i think this will look classier. it like a dark pine color.

i also decided that i am going to put plexi glass over the front where the ugly grate was, i think that would be sick.

anyway, sanding didnt work, the color on it is too deep and the residue left from the carpet is making it ten times harder than it should be because i have to get through that crap before any actual sanding starts to happen.

im borrowing a sander tomorrow and im going to try to take pics.

awesome, i like have a project like this going on, hopefully its going to look as rad as i think it will.

later!
