Finished



It took a full two weeks, but today we finished the deck refinishing project. I spent most of the afternoon working on it, and Gary joined me to do the second picnic table while I cleaned up the mess. It took two gallons of stuff--not paint, but Behr Premium Weatherproofing, Natural Clear color. The weather has remained pleasant, so maybe we can barbecue on the new deck before it gets cold.

We watched the first game of the World Series tonight with a couple of Rachel's friends. She made Puppy Chow for us to munch on. But you can't eat much of that at once, or at least you shouldn't.

I called David just as the game was getting started. He was too busy studying for a big test on Monday to watch.

Why do simple small jobs get bigger and bigger, and lots harder to do the older we get? Your deck looks wonderful...sounds like you had some great helpers too. Also, notice that the warrenty about 4 years on the can does not cover someone coming out and cleaning, snading, refinishing the deck...only the materials you need to do it again yourself..!?!
