The Deck is FINALLY Finished

Steven and I have been painting now for over a month (when we have time). Our back deck looked pretty weathered when we moved into our house, but after almost three years, it definitely needed a restaining. So instead of paying someone a good chunk of change, we decided to do it ourselves. We washed, powerwashed, sanded, and stained (and stained again after Home Depot mixed the wrong color and we used a whole gallon of it...ugh). It was a lot of labor!!! After 6 gallons of stain, here is the final product. The swing still needs staining...any volunteers? I don't know if I can do anymore!

The deck looks lovely. I can't wait to come visit, chill, and enjoy a nice tall glass of sweet tea. Brennan is going to have a ball in that back yard. Good job nephew and niece.
