Larry sanded the deck during the hot summer but we were unable to seal it for months. The weather had to be less than 90 degrees with No chance of rain. We also had to have no other plans for the weekend. Those conditions finally happened at the same time!
Saturday afternoon was used to seal the floorboards.
Sunday afternoon allowed for the railings, both inside and outside to be done.
I helped on Sunday which is a big change for me. I usually avoid getting hooked into a messy project because I like to cook and be able to move around doing odd jobs. We weren't used to working together like this which is surprising. It wasn't all peaches and cream but we persevered and kept moving forward.
At the end of the day, a second coat was added to the floor boards. We are very happy with the result. This product is a stain and sealer in one. The color is "redwood cedar" and we bought it at Lowe's. it took five gallons to do the job.The color is a nice brown and looks good with the leaves. It makes our very old deck look new again.
