Stairs Update

I love it!
Sue, Someone's Mom at I Need Mom has volunteered to "Mom" me through my stair procrastination with humor!
Kelly at Make it Sparkly Mama will hold me accountable
and Red Door Home recommends out of town
visitors to get me moving!
Thank you all so much! 
Your comments are just what I needed!

My goal is one month:
starting Sat Feb 27th 
completed by Sat Mar 27th
We removed the carpet and discovered gobs of carpet glue and lots of holes and gauges.

So the order of business is:
 scraping and patching
followed by sanding, painting and staining.
The plan is to paint the risers white and stain the treads a medium oak to match the floors.
The spindles, rails and base boards will get a
fresh coat of paint also.
OK! Let's do this thing!

I'm a User!

That's right! I admit it! I'm using you!
I'm using you to keep me on task! I need help! Major help! Maybe even an intervention!
My addiction is...
Procrastination!
Is there even a cure for this? I'm thinking, NOT!
So I'm using you as my conscience to get the job done.
I can't very well tell you I'm going to do something
and then not do it, can I?

Yeah, I know, I'm not beholden to you and could back-out. But...eventually my conscience would
get to me on principle, right?

So here is the thing!
The great big, stare me in the face thing,
that has been in this state for...dare I even admit it...
 5 months!


Now that you have assessed the situation,
you agree with me, right?
Help is neccessary to cure my ills!
So I can count on you then...for my intervention?

Awesome! I knew you were the right person(s) to ask!
