About Sarah

Hey there! I'm Sarah. My favorite things: 1) tearing my house apart and 2) putting it back together again. I occasionally talk about other things, like life and food and travel, but it's mostly my obsession with DIY and power tools that you'll find here!

    Did you just take the carpet off and paint the wood underneath or did you put on wood and then paint?

      Are you talking about my stairs (you left this comment on my back yard page so I assume?). If so, the stairs had solid wood treads underneath, so that’s what I painted. I had to replace two of them that were split. But I’ve seen others have to install new stair treads if they only have plywood underneath, so keep that in mind if you’re thinking of tackling a stair project and aren’t sure what you’ll find!
