It's that time again.  Sigh.  Time to stain the decking.

This was taken after it was done last time. It may take us all summer to get it done. There are hundreds and hundreds of spindles plus all of the railing and floor boards.

Oh my goodness! What a huge job. It\'s a beautiful deck, but too bad it needs the maintenance /: where are Tom Sawyer\'s friends when you need them?!

Wow, Mom always said \"Careful what you own cause it will own you\"!!! I found this to be so true throughout my life. Can you use a sprayer???? I am thinking about getting one for my fencing.

Nope, it\'s all got to be done the old fashioned way to be environmentally friendly and not get on other stuff. Hopefully, we\'ll finish before the first snow flakes fall. LOL

That is a lot to stain but I know you must enjoy sitting on the deck. It is a beautiful deck. I would love it. I need to send Jay over there to help you. Of course he might not be a big help because he would be fishing instead of staining. LOL!

That\'s OK. LOL I caught Mark down on the dock throwing the line in just to check and see if the crappie were biting Saturday morning. Grrr. Send Jay on up and I\'ll put him to work until Mark corrupts him and they take off fishing.

Gentle hugs, Linda

It\'s supposed to storm this afternoon so my hubby is prepping and I will stain in the mornings when it\'s cooler this coming week when he\'s gone. The heat really makes me dizzy and nauseated.

Wow, beautiful deck. You will certainly get your exercise in with that job. Take some breaks and stay cool.
