Party Deck


Our backyard has no grass. It's all pool and decking. I know most people wouldn't like it but V's one request in a house was to have a pool and the decking provides a great place for loungers and an outdoor table and a hot tub. It's also a lot lower maintenance for the most part. However, the old homeowners apparently haven't cleaned the deck in a long, long time. So our current project is power-washing the whole deck and then staining it. We've probably spent almost 8 hours power-washing and we have about another 4 left. Then we have to stain the entire thing. It's turning out to be a much bigger project than we thought. But I think it should make it look much, much better once it's finished. Poor Little Caiti runs away as soon as we turn on the washer and doesn't come back until the end of the day. Inky has become pretty used to it. Today she explored the cord and hose attached to the washer and then sat on her adirondack chair watching me wash the deck until she got bored. Luckily they are starting to become more accustomed to loud noises.
