It's nice to have a deck to sit on and stare out at the mountains opposite our property. Our deck has been sunburned and peeling for a few years. Today was paint day. It took about four hours, not counting the three days it took to bleach, wash, rinse and rewash; i.e. prep the deck.
The sun was up early, unusual for this normally misty time of year, so I said to my better half, "C'mon, let's get it over with." Out came the fifteen year old buckets of deck stain, brushes, rollers, and pans. Since we had bought oil based stain, we also dragged out the mineral spirits.
Brush and roller clean up had us busy another hour or two. We'll want to use them again to touch up and for doing the backside of the deck that we normally don't see, unless we're standing under it. We still need to clean and prep the stairway down. Maybe tomorrow . . .if we are up to it?
