i wear my sunglasses at night - deck reveal

1:17 PM Anonymous 0

Ding dong, the deck is done! I mentioned...what, 4 weeks ago, that we'd started some <a href="http://news-these-days.blogspot.com/2012/05/party-in-front-business-in-back.html" target="_blank">repair work to the deck</a>. Well, as with any reno project, replacing two boards turned into 11 and a new wider staircase and stain and hell, let's just throw in some new furniture while we're at it!<br /><br />But I'm getting ahead of myself. Let's remember how this all began. (picture me with my best 'thinking back' soap opera face)<br /><br />Here is the deck on the day we bought the house. Glorious to people with new house googles on. They're like beer googles, only they last longer than just one night. Our inspector had told us at the time that the stairs were rotting and should be replaced within the year. That was six years ago. (Don't you wish you had bought a flesh colored house?)<br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjMmJrQqOGrmSO4SWEO0t_Se1Xx9FpC6OthDaCsBcl46R0iKJUhENI8cG7EbepVTsqkGvx8BZRjqXN6ZWaAjjMuExD1oE2VPggEsPMjfiNPHr8bhxjXNDQ8J2ZfpaWzjvzskbzcKtoMWXl9/s1600/LBDOldDeck.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="460" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjMmJrQqOGrmSO4SWEO0t_Se1Xx9FpC6OthDaCsBcl46R0iKJUhENI8cG7EbepVTsqkGvx8BZRjqXN6ZWaAjjMuExD1oE2VPggEsPMjfiNPHr8bhxjXNDQ8J2ZfpaWzjvzskbzcKtoMWXl9/s640/LBDOldDeck.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><span style="background-color: white;"><br /></span><br /><span style="background-color: white;">Every spring and every fall we would put the deck on our to-do list. And every summer and every winter would go by with the same wobbly stairs and rotting boards.</span><br />We used the space less and less until it just became a place for the girls to use their sidewalk chalk. Finally after sitting outside with the girls, drawing yet another hopscotch, I noticed our dog (a 22 pound beagle) going down the stairs. You would have thought there was an earthquake on those suckers.<br /><span style="background-color: white;"><br />If the stairs couldn't support 22 pounds...well you get where I'm going with that. So the project moved up to the top of the list. </span><br /><br />While getting supplies at Home Depot the fatal words were uttered, "If we're going to replace the stairs let's just replace those two boards on the floor as well." Now I'm not going to point fingers or name names, but this suggestion was made by someone who's name rhymes with suke (Luke, that's you.)<br /><br />When the two boards came up they gave a lovely view of 9 more boards that needed to be replaced as well. I swear I hear the deck laugh at us. Nieve suckers. Good times. So back to Home Depot, which brings us back to the here and now.<br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj70cX-FYUFcdYKqKGy8yewyDjcE694AVjLn1YEEYrDD1yvndZkkpLAE9rKuYgJd1gVvsR0iDqsbfKw_HO8U_V-986uJ7VnOTNrcaha7aWb2kZAi4XHWJat6qdGqUHpBFZgQave7F4Dk5vZ/s1600/LBDDeckBefore.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj70cX-FYUFcdYKqKGy8yewyDjcE694AVjLn1YEEYrDD1yvndZkkpLAE9rKuYgJd1gVvsR0iDqsbfKw_HO8U_V-986uJ7VnOTNrcaha7aWb2kZAi4XHWJat6qdGqUHpBFZgQave7F4Dk5vZ/s640/LBDDeckBefore.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><br />After only mild cussing and grunting the handy hubs got to work and replaced all the offending boards in pretty quick order.<br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhvzZt1sugO5G4NApx4rd00TYgueL4pi4hteL2Q5GOTwcWfAA99yyuxyZwnPXqfi9MQHyR3Uf3i53Se9e8s1Zlf63Ls4FuJCs2idKzyEtfgWYzJRvPziwc_nug5Vy2MJxLgMCTSvQE9zIlF/s1600/LBDDeckProgress.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhvzZt1sugO5G4NApx4rd00TYgueL4pi4hteL2Q5GOTwcWfAA99yyuxyZwnPXqfi9MQHyR3Uf3i53Se9e8s1Zlf63Ls4FuJCs2idKzyEtfgWYzJRvPziwc_nug5Vy2MJxLgMCTSvQE9zIlF/s640/LBDDeckProgress.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><br />Which ment we could finally get to the part of the project that we were supposed to be doing in the first place - the stairs.

We had done a lot of research on various stains and decided to go with a new product at Home Depot, <a href="http://www.homedepot.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/ProductDisplay?productId=202692167&storeId=10051&langId=-1&catalogId=10053&PID=1319015&cm_mmc=CJ-_-1319015-_-10368321&cpncode=33-60570732-2&AID=10368321&cj=true&srccode=cii_13736960" target="_blank">Restore Deck Liquid Armor</a>.<br /><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEixUtBDiODD1yjRw5l89kUoBSnrC3hJNOLYf0W-2sPi8H0C1AN7uA-nLqig3JhBGOvV1YO74Fktc9bWJIYQBrfWTKlqmTlSDkspnzdlmBP2DKSg3SpqxwyxG4sDHBnMxCvIHR3XosLnuY3b/s1600/LBDRestoreBox.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" height="472" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEixUtBDiODD1yjRw5l89kUoBSnrC3hJNOLYf0W-2sPi8H0C1AN7uA-nLqig3JhBGOvV1YO74Fktc9bWJIYQBrfWTKlqmTlSDkspnzdlmBP2DKSg3SpqxwyxG4sDHBnMxCvIHR3XosLnuY3b/s640/LBDRestoreBox.jpg" width="640" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">Restore Deck Liquid Armor</td></tr></tbody></table><br />Our deck is surrounded by 100+ year old oak trees and the poor thing gets pummeled all year around by whatever those trees feel like dropping on it. So we were intrigued by this stain as it adds a bit of coverage from the elements in addition to just sealing the wood. All of the reviews we read online were positive and at such a great price point, we figured it was worth a try.<br /><br />And I'm happy to tell you that this stuff rocks! There are several colors to pick from and we found the color to be a true match to the chips.<br /><br />It's important to note though that this stuff is like peanut butter so a standard wood paint stirrer thing isn't going to cut it.<br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgV2rMbli8zowWcTkcN3SsSq4sHLgiI5zKJPKzFgX4pEzay553DdA9D4Me2mHg0EoxtE2iCxCyibLKV1DjS1aD6HnLt5nmQr8_PVwwhtCd5dLlHouAQ4mh3FUPMNMWfFyGU5vWJj3Rn2Vg_/s1600/LBDRestoreTight.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgV2rMbli8zowWcTkcN3SsSq4sHLgiI5zKJPKzFgX4pEzay553DdA9D4Me2mHg0EoxtE2iCxCyibLKV1DjS1aD6HnLt5nmQr8_PVwwhtCd5dLlHouAQ4mh3FUPMNMWfFyGU5vWJj3Rn2Vg_/s640/LBDRestoreTight.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><span style="background-color: white;"><br /></span><br /><span style="background-color: white;">You've got to pull out the big guns and get yourself a mixer attachment for your drill.
