 Hey, that can wait if necessary, the getting hitched is the best part. Well that and the happily ever after.

			That's in the running.... 
		
		
		
		
		
		
			Thanks y'all! Some day we'll have a regular party and get some locals to come.... Seems like everything you hear begins with, "in these unprecedented times... or uncertain times..... " All times are unprecedented. All times are uncertain. Always have been. It's the only real constant.

			Might could set up a Zoom on a tablet or my chrome book, and set it where those interested could observe the actual ceremony live....

			I filled the gaps in the landing with wedges of 1 yr old home depot pine (at Amanda's suggestion{or so she claims, at least} ), and chiseled and sanded...  Then I stained the new wood with dark Trans Tint dye and water, cured. Then I sanded that back.  That left the hard grain dark and the soft grain light.  Then, fire. 
		
		
		
		
		
		
			I torched the hard grain, and lightly sanded that back. A coat of old antique maple Trans Tint and some mixing of the amber to level the color... I gave the older wood 2 coats of the maple and a jot of amber..... Got them close enough to not be noticeably different. Then 2 coats of triple thick poly, steel wool satin finish. We're pleased with the result.

			Oh yeah. And we painted.  Amanda did the risers and side trim, and removed the railing.  I sanded and painted them, and cut and sized and shaped and painted the 27 little side moldings... I just have to nail the trim down, and Amanda will clean up the little bleed throughs of paint on the steps. 
		
		
		
		
		
		
			That's the other 5%
