Decked

One of our first major projects that we did ourselves was staining our decks. At first we thought we could do the entire project in a weekend but deck staining proved to be more involved that previously imagined. We have three decks - two in the back, plus the front porch. All of these decks had to be cleaned, dried out and then stained. After a lot of work, we did finish though and it looks pretty good - or at least better than it did. We used Behr stain from Home Depot in Cedar Naturaltone. If you'll notice in the before and after photos we also painted the doors and door frames white. We also want to paint the window trim but need to get an extension ladder to do that project.
