Spring Cleaning


An unfortunate result of all the rain and trees in our neighborhood is green slime and mold on our decks. Every year or two you have to get out there and freshen it up, so I spent the long weekend pressure washing and staining the wood to make it look a little better. The easy part is the floor of the deck, the mold comes off pretty easily and it's also easy to roll the stain on. The challenge is all the vertical parts. It's time consuming and back pain inducing to reach all the nooks and crannies. It is also a challenge trying to paint anything outdoors in Oregon, you never know when it will start raining. Luckily, the deck had most of the day to dry before the down pour started on Saturday night.
