Grrr, glue under the stair treads. :(

I was SO looking forward to removing the stair treads from the stairs in the hallway...but when I got to work on pulling them off I found that they were nailed and glued. I swear, everything in this freakin' house has glue on it! Of course the glue removed the finish on the stairs, so for now my only choice is to just replace the stair treads with new ones. Bummer, I was really wanting to show off the pretty wood steps. Maybe someday we will refinish them, but that is certainly not a priority or part of the current plan.



New stair threads (not what I wanted to do, but they are clean and more neutral then the last ones):
