Long-time readers may recall a post last Halloween, in which Merikay noted that our house has 516 pickets in its deck railing, each of which had to be sanded and then stained before we could put the house up for sale. We stopped work on that project when the weather turned. Today we finished sanding and staining the last 71 of the 516. Here are some of them:
Which is not to say our deck sanding and staining are done. We still have 2 1/2 flights of stairs plus two areas of deck boards before our deck work is done.
Between Merikay and I, we will try to keep our home preparation fans in touch with our progress. It's just that we're getting close enough that we want to be careful that our blogging doesn't affect our coming home sale in any way...
A lot of work for sure, but it looks beautiful!

I know from experience how beautiful that deck is. You guys have done a wonderful job getting it ready.
ReplyDeleteThanks for reminding me how much work goes into home maintenance. I'm so glad we don't own one. LOL
ReplyDeleteWell done on checking off such a job. I hope you take a few minutes to enjoy the results.
ReplyDeleteAgree with the Gnomes, we like watching what you're doing that we did 5 years ago. We are so glad we don't have a house to maintain anymore.
