I'm just kidding about the "envy" part! We do not envy our children's good fortune, but instead give all the glory to God! Nevertheless, after helping to build Greg and Cindi's spiffy new deck, our own 30 year old deck looked rather sad, worn and dirty! We had always intended to power-wash it. Now was the time!
Larry worked on this project spraying for over 5 hours. We were afraid that our well might go dry but it held out with plenty of water.
You can see the contrast in color above. The right side of the deck has been sprayed and the left side has yet to be done.
Now, the old deck is much cleaner. However, the water pressure may have removed moisture from the wood because it does need to be sanded before it can be stained to prevent splinters! This "simple" project is morphing into something bigger than what we had planned... No surprise there!
