Picture this - gorgeous summer weekend in New England. Blue skies, barely a cloud, temps in the high 70s / low 80s. So many things you could do to enjoy this perfection. What did I do you ask.
Well to start off my festival of fun I spent most of Saturday stripping the old finish off the deck. Nasty fumes, long application then re-applications with my friend the puny roller, rinsing repeatedly with the hose (I don't even want to think about the water bill!) and still some old stain remains.
I had so much fun Saturday I chose to do the 2-in-1 deck prep Sunday to get rid of the mildew and mold and supposedly make the wood "glow." To be honest the mildew and mold are for the most part gone. The wood however looks old, tired and thirsty. No glow - just dry, cracked nasty wood. So to continue this festival I am going to try to stain it today, this afternoon, with the kids home. This should be real fun!
