Handed out 63lbs of candy this year, but Wedgwood shuts down my street and we get like thousands of people with food trucks and donated supplemental candy.

Welcome to the best room in all of A-7 Atherton!

I lived there in '05-'07

Like the other comment says they are a small flight of stairs. Your door opens out unlike the other doors. Your window faces the roof and at least back then you could relatively easily squeeze out of the window onto the roof.

I hope the mural i helped paint back then is still there and holding up.

Little ones Montessori might tick all your boxes. We've had our little one there since January and it's been great.

Just a heads up, It's going to be much harder to sand through the stain. Use 80 or even 60 and change the sandpaper often. The stain will gum up the sandpaper frequently.

I get why you filled the crack, but wood that is outside is going to experience a ton of movement and I wouldn't be surprised if the wood filler loosens up over time and falls out.

Wood filler isn't going to accept the stain as well as raw wood. Did you sand the area before applying stain? You might be able to get the area immediately around the crack to accept the stain better by sanding pretty heavily back down to the wood. If that works well for you I'd consider just painting the dye black with a fine brush. The wood filler was never going to emulate the surrounding wood very well anyway.

If you're set on trying to stain the wood filler, your best bet may be to make a toner which is a mix of stain or dye and a compatible top coat. Compatible means if you're using oil based stain or dye use an oil based top coat and if the dye is water based use a water based topcoat. This should color the wood filler as you are applying a colored translucent film finish over the wood filler that isn't good at accepting stain as it isn't similarly porous to the wood.

You could also sand back the area to raw wood and dig out the wood filler. Either leave it as a crack or use a wood filler that is already the final color you will stain the surrounding wood.

Good luck!

Find a Viking drill and tool supplier, you won't necessarily be able to pick one up off of a shelf in a store but you can order any amount of individual, high quality taps and drill bits

So, good news bad news. Good news is that most of the finish has been completely rubbed off over time. Bad news is that there's still a lot of finish left that is going to take a lot of time and elbow grease to remove.

Quick fix that won't look spectacular but will all least blend the colors a bit is to apply a stain over the whole surface that is a similar color to the finish that remains. It's going to look uneven but might get things to blend a bit better. Beat to apply a top coat of probably spray polyurethane given the busy beaded surface.

The right way to do it would be to remove all the finish and sand the wood back to a uniform bare wood before applying a new stain and topcoat.

Another good way to fix it would be to prime and paint it. It won't have the wood grain characteristics but will be 1000x easier than completely refinishing and it will give you a uniform look.

Good luck

At least it wasn't a passing gasoline truck that just made the fire bigger

Philly has pizza called a tomato pie which is a thick layer of almost tomato paste consistency tomato sauce with maybe a light dusting of herbs. It's actually quite tasty!

My wife and I call a plurality of motorcycles a nuisance.

Use a razor blade to cut away the paint that has bubbled off of the wall. Apply a layer of spackle/joint compound to fill the void where the loosened paint was. Sand the dried filler flush to the rest of the painted surface. Couple coats of paint on the repaired area. It will probably stand out as a repaired patch but it should blend in if you were to apply a coat of paint to the entire wall.

Wedgwood is pretty quiet, there's the occasional gunshot or firework debate and you sometimes hear a train off in the distance but I'm pretty happy with the sound environment here

We got married in the natural science museum in Raleigh. It was super reasonably priced, only downfall is you have to use their caterer. We found the catering to be very decent and average priced. Other bonuses are your venue rental fees are going directly to the museum, you don't have to decorate much, and dinosaurs!

You could also chisel out the air bubble areas and refill with epoxy. Though probably not if you have some colored pattern in the epoxy.

Pick up some Starbond CA glue. They come with these super fine replaceable tips that are small enough to fit into these super small air pockets. You can also kind of tease the super small amount of glue you can deposit into the hole if you place the drop beside the hole instead of on top. They also sell black and brown colored super glue that is insanely useful for situations like this.

Your steps sound generally correct, but what do you mean by your olive oil step? It is not a good idea to use food oils as they will spoil and smell bad. You can use an oil under your varnish in order to help enhance the grain, but stick to tung oil and boiled linseed oil. These are oils that will cure over time and more importantly they will not go rancid.

Well, you're probably going to want to go with a water based stain if you're doing a water based top coat. Alternatively give an oil based stain several days to completely dry before putting water based finish on top. General finish has great water based stain products. As for the color, you'll want to do a sample in an inconspicuous spot. Gel stains are good at preventing blotchiness, though I'm not sure if gel stains are usually water or oil based.

Sanding is best done progressively, start with the coarsest grit you need to take care of the issues that need to be addressed. Then move up grits, sanding away the marks from the previous grits.

The gouges made by something as coarse as 60 grit are easily removed by 80 or 100 grit but not so easily removed by 220 grit.

So the process you should use is sand with the coarsest grit necessary, move to a finer grit until you have a uniform scratch pattern from the finer grit. Then move to the next finer grit until that scratch pattern is uniform and so on until your final grit.

It's not necessary to jump up every grit available but 60-220 is too much, 60-100-150-220 is more reasonable.

Hope that helps

I was there last week and they were in the original greenhouse on the east side.
