I put the first coat of the solid color stain on Tuesday. The next morning there were small animal tracks on the first step. Fortunately, the stain was dry when he walked over it.
Today when I started to dry it with the leaf blower (we had torrential rains last evening), I saw that the dirty little devil had walked up the stairs and all the way to the door. Was he expecting us to let him in?
So I wiped up the evidence of his visit and put the second coat on.
If he walks on it before it is dry, I may have to resort to violence. Of course, not knowing whether it was a stray cat or the groundhog who tried to stare me down a couple of days ago will make it difficult to exact vengeance.
Just stay off the veranda!
I just had an amusing image in my mind of you sitting in the open doorway on a kitchen chair with a rifle across your lap all night. (Only moderately believable if I put the iPad in your hands so you can play Word Solitaire all night. And it was VERY good you did not show me sooner...)
