Deck Saga Continues

Between soccer games, school Carnaval, medical appointments, and some just for fun things, we got the deck boards replaced when they were not salvage-able and flipped the deck boards we could use. All the spindles were removed for easier staining. I began staining, working only when the deck was in the shade or the temp was not 80º+, and working around the rainy days.

We watched the grand dog for a few days while his family traveled to Utah for a graduation. He's attached to the garden bed framework while I stained deck spindles.

Hubby also created some projects from the scrap cedar pieces or the OOPS pieces.

While waiting to stain the deck floor, I also stained the front cedar stoop...

And finally, around June 9th, the deck was completed,  and ready for use.

and we have, nearly every day
