And It Continues...

Before getting the outside painted we decided the back deck needed to be refinished. So Morgan started the project by getting all the supplies we needed from Home Depot and starting the first step... Stripping the old stain with a very strong product that ate the skin away on his arm. OUCH! Thank goodness we stripped it before we got the outside painted because it would of destroyed the siding paint. After the stripping step, a mildew and mold product had to be applied. And then the final step before staining was sanding. Oh Man, this was quit a project!!! And then to pick just the right color was another whole ordeal because it had to go with our new paint color and our new patio furniture. So 4 samples later we found the perfect color! We are so happy with the way it turned out and it is so rewarding to sit out there and think WE DID THIS! So, another DIY project we completed together (with a few arguments along the way) and we're still happily married!
