OK - suckiest home improvement job is putting laminate on stairs. I started at 7:30 this morning.....and only got 7 stairs and the landing done by 4:00. Holy freaking cow. I did my 22 by 16 room in in only 6 hours last weekend.

The builders did a massively piss-poor job....I guess they figured that it was just going to be covered by carpet, but I spent most of the time simply making the structure able to take the laminate. Yikes. But I did prep all 14 stairs, so I'm looking at only 3-4 hours next weekend to finish them, and then all I have left is a bunch of trim things, which is easy.

The end is in sight......

At least I discovered a new product....forget liquid nails. Power Grip rocks.
