Deck renovation redwood stain before after


Okay let's get started. Chris? Present. Okay, item one: paint the deck. Behr redwood semi-transparent. Two gallons coated it twice (barely) with each coat taking a couple hours.

Item three: hill behind the fence. Jon wreaked excellent havoc with the sawzall, I simply raked the vertical foot of branches and leaves to the bottom of the grade. I'm hoping the scotch grass I planted will fare well.
And ScottD sent me a bunch of photos from the animal park last week.

Connie's darkroom work, or in her words, 'I gots it in my flickrs!' In fact, I'll leave you with one more quote from the excitable one...

i want an A. i want an A. i want an A. i already calculate getting docked points for assignment 2 since i turned in one out of two prints required. that's a C right there. assignment 1 all turned in, but images not impressive.. at least not compared to yours and curts of solarized car parts. so that's a B. i need two A+'s to counteract assignment 1 and 2. assignment 3, my metering is all over the place...docked points right there!!! I won't get an A!!! i wont get an A!!!!
