Our Deck

Our deck has been in need of repair since we moved in.  Todd and I had thought that it might not be able to make it much longer.  Todd did some research and found a deck cleaner that would work to clean off the grime that has been sitting on it for quite awhile.  So we set out to scrub and scrub our deck and then we proceed to stain it.  It looks amazing and it seems like all it needed was a good scrub and a new stain.  I think it will last us for quite awhile!!  Here are some before and after pics of our deck.

It took about a week to clean it and then a week to stain it.  Well more like 3 days for about 5 hours each day I would guess.  Most of the work was done while Joel was taking his naps during the day!
    



Half of the deck scrubbed and half with the grime still on it.
Grimmy deck and  you can see the area that we have scrubbed!
The deck scrubbed and the rails are stained in this picture. 
Scrubbed stairs and rails.
