It's been over twenty years since my husband and I added the deck on the back of our house. At the time, we also invested in a hot tub to relieve the aches and pains that construction would bring on. So along with the redwood deck, we also got a redwood hot tub (yes, just a couple of years before they came out with the "no care" siding!).
At any rate, the first year and approximately every three years since we have repeated the treatment on the deck and hot tub. It's not fun work, especially around the railings, and I've never considered it much fun. As I've gotten older the chore has gotten more difficult.
So, when our currently living with us daughter offered to "do" the deck this summer I was overjoyed. Unlike myself, she enjoys the warmer weather and seems content to turn on her iPod, grab the brushes and rollers, and work merrily away while the music plays on.
Talk about a blessing. And the deck looks great too!
Blessings to you!
I'd love to see a photo of the finished product. Tell your daughter she's a gem!
