Porch Staining

When we bought the house it was apparent the porch had been neglected for some time. It was gray and warped. It looked like the wood had never been sealed.

Last week, Roger used a deck cleaning solution and pressure washed the deck and we were relieved to see it brought some color back into the wood, although it was still pretty pathetic.

Today we stained and sealed the wood! We used a tinted seal, so we only had to go over it once. It took four gallons of seal. The wood was very, very thirsty.

  2. Hey Rog - that sure does look good and the deck could have been in much worse condition. Beautiful job but of course you got some good help to - goes on a lot quicker with good conversation. Look foward to seeing up front and close! See ya soon!
