We have a new deck. It is amazing what a coat of stain does. However, the keeper rushed out to Home Depot this morning to get the stain, and it took forever! One guy with everyone waiting because they are all starting their summer projects before Fall comes! But she says it's not the color she wanted...it's redwood, but it looks like the redwoody orangey paint on old picnic tables. But when you are 3 gallons into it, you keep it, she said. And after you have worked in 80 degree weather, when sweat is pouring into the paint bucket, and and all you want to do is quit, she says, you don't change colors. She told us that now she knows why people hire other people to do things like this. Besides, the rain will tone it down, although we did get the special 10 year premium grade stain. It is more paint than stain. We'll get used to it. Right now it smells. I walked on it and rolled on it and got the orange color in my fur. The keeper did help me out tonight and combed it out.
