Deck Boards Secured
Sep. 16th, 2021 02:27 pmWe reached a major milestone in the new patio deck yesterday evening.
( All Screwed Up )
We're not done yet with this project, although this should be the end of the major wood work. Lisa wants to apply wood putty to the gaps in the deck to reduce water incursion, then sand it all down, then paint it with the same paint we have used for the front porch. Despite the outward appearance, this wood is not redwood, but pressure-treated pine, and we'd be happier having several coats of paint on it.
Lisa has not run out of ideas for the back porch area. One of the things about Fernley House is that there's always another project we can do to improve it.
