Deck Staining Time

We've been meaning to stain the deck since, ah, gee, August of 2004 - when we moved in. It's funny what seems to be so urgent at the time, and then life just goes on, and the urgency with it. So, we're finally going to stain it. Now I say IT. But actually there are 2 decks, one small one off our bedroom on the third floor, and the other BIG deck that goes around 3 sides of the house. Doesn't it sound like fun?

Louie pressure washed the house and deck, replaced some bad wood, and now he's sanding down the railings so they will be nice and smooth. Tomorrow morning (early-yuck) we will do the actual staining. I'll post some pictures once we are finished.

When you see the pictures, you will wonder - wow - why didn't they paint the house like they said they were going to? That crazy blue-green color has got to go. Hmmmm. Just another one of those urgent things that got less urgent. The paint is not the best color, but it's still in good condition. So, we'll continue to live with it for now. Funny what you can learn to live with or live without. Like those frenchdoors for my bedroom deck......
