Housework

Sorry for the lack of recent posts. We have a deck on the back of our house and it's been years since it's been stained. So Carol and I have spent some evenings and the last couple of weekends getting it ready to be stained. This included cleaning it and then sanding, which takes up a huge amount of time. Plus we've been delayed by rain.

Our original schedule was to have it stained this weekend. Then that changed to just finishing the sanding. Sadly, although we've made a lot of progress, some sanding remains. We'll have to stain it next weekend. We hope.

It will be really nice once it's done, hopefully in time for our family to visit in a couple of weeks for Rachel's graduation from college.

But next time, I'm paying someone to do it.
