All is good...i find the tin of stain i used on the other Beacon...i shake it up...theres plenty in the tin...i open it and start staining.......
top floor done....middle floor done....ground floor done....i'm thinking this is looking good !!
i go to make a coffee before the next coat...i come back into the craft room....i think...gee that looks dark, hmmmmmm well it must dry lighter......i wait.......its dry.....omg!!!! its a total different colour!!!!
I check the tin...yep its stain.....what happened??
Does stain go 'off' ?
did someone switcheroo it?
Well what to do... what to do? too late to change it now I'm thinking i'll have to redo the 1st beacon trims to match, as this new one is alot darker somehow.....but on the upside...i like the darker one better
OR....i could do the skinny sticks and just have the front strip to sand and change...but then i'd have to skinny stick both houses to match anyway...
heres a pic of the 2 front strips of both houses
still baffled as to how its so dark...theres got to be a reason/explainationor........my kids are right and i am losing the plot!!
Any ideas?

Linda, It's probably the wood itself. If it is dryer than the first was, it probably soaked in more of the stain. That's why they tell you to wipe it off after a few minutes. I am sure that you will be able to fix it. If not, there are different kinds of wood in all of our houses. You can just say that they used different wood in different places.;-)
