Michael Moore is not a fan of Obamacare. (Justin Sullivan/Getty Images) Like Moore, Iâd prefer a more nationalized health-care system. But his analysis relies on a common mistake that distorts both the benefits of single-payer systems and the deficiencies peculiar to Obamacare. Insurers are the bogeymen of American health care.
Staining western red cedar. After priming western red cedar siding, shingles, and shakes, you can stain the woodâs surface. A stain protects the cedar from weathering, discoloration, and moisture damage. Walk into any home do-it-yourself paint and supply store and youâre bound to be inundated with finish-stains.
Stain Application: 1  Apply stain in the direction of the grain with a brush or clean cloth. 2  Allow the stain to penetrate 5-15 minutes to achieve desired color. The more time the stain is allowed to penetrate, the richer and darker the color will be. 3  Remove stain that has not absorbed into the wood with a clean cloth.
