Masking Tape Marauders

We have scored the floor in this room first (pre stain) for a good reason, we are coloring the square tiles like a chessboard, light squares and darker squares. Fema Blue masking tape and 4 mil polyethylene hide the light-colored squares as we prepare to apply the stain to the darker colored; unprotected squares.

With the first coat of stain applied, we begin the waiting period before we can recoat.
Notice the kitchen appliances are gone? We had to remove them and store them for this period of time. The refrigerator is plugged into the kitchen outlet (20 amp circuit) but the frige itself is in the blue bedroom.
