Now that the trees have been trimmed, it is time to stain the deck. I hired a crew to sand it down, stain it, and put on a sealant that will protect it during the snow. They started prepping this afternoon.
I am excited to see how it looks, once the work is complete! I love the brown color that we chose. It feels good to be getting the home maintenance done for the cold season.
I have been sitting by the fire reading library books. Last night I watched "A River Runs Through It," directed by Robert Redford. What a magnificent film! It made me want to visit Montana. The scenery is gorgeous!

Snow!! I imagine that it is lovely to live where there is snow. Do you ski?
ReplyDeleteIt is so pretty here, ratnamurti. No, I don't ski. I would love to take a ride in the chair lift, though. Cross country skiing might be fun.
DeleteI agree, it is a lovely feeling when we do things to maintain or improve our homes. An investment in our future.

That's true, Joy. We are fortunate that the weather is ideal right now for the deck to dry.
DeleteYou are getting a lot of work done around your home! I am sure the deck will look lovely when stained and sealed. :)
ReplyDeleteThanks Bless. That has been my focus. The man who built my cabin did a beautiful job, and I really want to keep it well maintained.
DeleteI love to see a project when it's finished. The deck is going to look gorgeous for you once it's all done.
ReplyDeleteYes, I am excited to see the end result, Cherie. It looks so pretty today, after they pressure washed it.
DeleteI was wondering what you were up to since the last blog entry. I bet your deck will look wonderful once the sanding and staining is complete. Very smart of you to take care of the wood.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Anita. It's gorgeous wood. It will need upkeep, but I enjoy seeing the work being done and the end result.
DeleteYou are very smart in your repairs and up-keep! A good book and movie...what more can you need for entertainment! (Plus I'm sure Lula is there laying near you!) Andrea
ReplyDeleteThanks, Andrea. I need to have the deck stained while the weather is still warm enough for it to dry. The forecast looks good.
DeleteIt seems strange to be speaking of snow after the threat of the fires, doesn't it. Your deck should look beautiful x
ReplyDeleteIt's gotten much colder already, PP. I love having a crackling fire in the fireplace.
DeleteWe have timber decking on our verandahs, Stephanie. Staining it is a big job but it always looks great and protects the timber too. MegXx
ReplyDeleteThat's true, Meg. I love the look of the wood. Your verandah sounds beautiful.
