Deck, Step Two


The keeper decided that before she left for vacation she would stain and seal the deck. It sounded easy enough. She had done it down at the beach. Yesterday she picked out the stain, bought the supplies, cleaned the poor, faded, worn wood. Today after work and after the sun was off of that area, she started in, but realized that this wood is parched and it is sucking up the stain faster than she can put it on. so, she got 1/3 of it done, and decided she will have to be at Home Depot early tomorrow to get two more gallons. It's bright redwood. A little 50's retro redwood. But it will fade. And it looks better than what was there. We have a feeling we will have to stay inside tomorrow while she finishes it.
