Today we started working on "step 2" of our deck project -- staining. :) It actually goes pretty easy with Chris spraying the stain onto the deck and me following him with the paint pad to smooth it into the wood. This is one of the many things I have learned that I can do one-handed while holding Ledger. He is a good work assistant!This picture shows Chris staining himself into a corner on the lower deck. We completely finished the lower deck and stairs before we lost the sunlight and got eaten alive by mosquitos. Tomorrow, I am hoping to finish spraying the upper deck and brush-on stain to the lower deck bainsters and railings. The stain takes 24-hours to dry.... so keep your fingers crossed for 2 full days of DRY weather. :)
I'm crossed! Can't wait to see it in person. Wish I had your energy!
ReplyDeleteChris looks like such a handy man!!!
ReplyDeleteDo you guys play Hobo Balls? It looks like you have Hobo Balls in the background. If you don't know what that is, nevermind. Another lake game. ha We play that here with our neighbors.
ReplyDeleteWe call it "ladder ball" here. We got out our set and the kids played it in the backyard after the baptism.
