Default Wait to stain trim?

If you wait it's possible that your trim will get soiled or nicked
during that time especially if you plan to pull it off. It might
therefore be possible that it would look nicer if stained immediatly.

If you can wait to stain then it seems like you might also be able to
wait to install it. Better I think to wait until you are feeling
patient so that you can do a nice job on this important detail. Or, you
could put your wifey up in a nice hotel or spa for a day or two. She
wil probably like the idea .


I had a friend who was getting married and movign into her husband's
house, that they were going to remodel. Well the only night that they
didn't use birth control was their wedding night, and she got
pregnant. Instead of after the remodeling was done. He probably had
lead paint on window trim, that they woudl remove, so she ended up
living in her old house for months, and they would mostly only see
each other when they met at hardware stores to pick out hinges etc..
He hurried to get the paint removal done before the baby was born. I
think he succeeded, and his wife moved into the house again.

What's particularly funny about this one is that she was a "sex
counselor" at a college. Well they probably called her a
"reporductive health counselor". They had a basketful of free
condoms in the waiting room. Anyhow, she would meet lots of girls who
claimed they had only had sex once, or once without protection, and
bingo they were pregnant. And my friend always thought they were
lying to save face. And she'd also laughed at stories about couples
where the girl allegedly got pregnant on her wedding night. Yet in
her case she knew that both were true!
