Redwood stain fence pool renovation


For whatever reason I decided to do the fences this weekend. Well, I decided to start the fences. I'm maybe half done.


Fence redwood stain application


Same thing as the deck, and it matches pretty well with the red brick. For prep, I diluted the Behr finish stripper and pump-sprayered it on. Then I hit it with a brush followed by the hose. It worked pretty well but took some serious effort.

Some areas are a bit dark and will need a second coat of stain. I was getting about sixty planks (one side) out of each gallon. I estimate seven gallons for a single coat.


Many thanks to Jessica and her gymnastic painting abilities, Jessica Lee Pool House looks good next to Rob Queenin Memorial Pool and the D. Lane Juniper Stump Grove.

Stained deck renovation


The deck can now be walked on for the opposite-angle view. I need to start thinking about sweet outdoor lighting.



I've spent some time organizing the storage room. I swapped out two flourescent fixtures, one broken and the other an unnecessary 100w. The replacement fixtures illuminate such areas as the paint/chemicals alcove on 50w.





Comments

With the new lights, the storage room is less Silence of the Lambs. You should of kept the old lights yo!


man, just that little bit of tire back there is enough to get me all hot and bothered.


It rubs the lotion on its skin or else it gets the hose again ...

Nevergreen terrace

 R, Dan and Dave came down this past weekend. Besides the requisite Halo, Winner, surfing, and tasty food/drink, we were on a mission to clear the rocks out of the second terrace. It's difficult to describe the size of the task. But I should add that ...
