Stripping is done

I finished up with the strips.  Now the hard work starts.  Getting all those staples out.  I used a box and a half.  Each box holds 1250 staples.  We used 5 1x6x8 cedar boards.  I cut the strips about 3/16 inch.  I got about 19 stripes from each board.  I got 7 left over.  You do the math!...

After the staples I'll use the router with a straight cutting blade to trim the overhangs.  Then sanding.

                                                  This is what they do around here for fun...
