I love the difference you can make with a couple of cans of mistinted stain from the bargain shelf at Home Hardware. Okay, the colours aren't the very best (blue-ish grey and "black spruce", which is definitely brackish greenish.) But it beats flaking fake-cedar-orange.
The deck in Fernwood was in serious need of attention. It's not the most stylish deck, and probably has only a few years left before major repair or replacement, but a good pressure washing and a couple of coats of stain will help extend its life and make it look a bit less godawful. It was a good way to spend a very hot day while thinking about whether we could really take on another derelict house project at this very moment.
