I guess you SOL if you live in these counties? from the sealer store site for AC... Due to VOC Laws, this product Cannot be shipped to these California Counties: La County, Riverside County, San Bernardino County, Orange County. Cali is a pretty tough state...:rolleyes:

That would be sweet... :cool:

Ok It's been a while but here I am again,I think most of you know who I am ? You know I have to post some pics right? This house had 2 different kinds of stain to strip and brightened.It was stained with Baker's Gray Away Super Cedar. I want to say Thank you again to Beth and Rod for TGS! I'm still getting job leads from the BBS from years ago! :cool:

Thanks John! me a self promoter? HA :tongue:

Here was small deck that had an unknown stain / bad mildew.It was stripped and brightened then stained with custom Super Cedar Blend.

Thank you Beth! :cool:

Thanks Adam :cool: That damm spam!

Here is a small 800Lft 12' tall cedar fence I worked on last month stained with Baker's Gray Away Special Blend. The fence used 75 gallons of stain.

I tried a ladder but it would have taken me forever! So I connected my 4' extension = 8' total it was not to steady but i had lots give staining 12'

Here is a beautiful PT deck with everybody's fav stain Behr Prmium Acrylic that was failing.The deck was stripped and brightened and the cedar fence was bleached and rinsed.

Thanks Craig! Behr has to be the worst coating ever for wood !

Thanks Chris you know me and pics I take a bunch of them! I will say the I-phone takes decent pics i don't even use my good cannon digital camera,

Thanks Adam.. :cool: I didn't have helper for that one so 10 hrs for that job was pretty good.I thought my arms were gonna fall off after that job!

Only the best former Forum leader the TGS has ever had! :applouse: :cool:

Here is a small ACQ deck that had been built 6 months ago then sat out to cure before sealing. The biggest problem with new ACQ wood is the greenish tint from the copper treatment. The pics show a little green but it was more noticeable in person. The deck was Bleached and pressure washed then brightened. Always remember to rinse the bleach off the best you can since mixing oxalic and bleach will put out a mean odor so wear a respirator. The stained pic is very wet it wasn't drying to fast in the early A.M

Thanks Adam! I think your fence will be just fine once you stain it.You can only do so much with new ACQ pine pickets now a days it's a nightmare with those leopard spots. I'm glad cedar is king here for cedar fences!

Thanks for the welcome Rick! This house was a good project,It might not have been perfect like I wanted it to be but the homeowners were thrilled with the finished product. I think I made a customer for life and they were those kind of customers we all love working for! Here is a shot of the front of the house that looked better than it looks in the pic ,Damm I phone is not great for pics in the early afternoon.

Thanks Ron! It's been a long road to get where we're at today with our clientele but it's been all worth it!

Yeah Charlie it's hard to make money on fences to but just high volume makes up for it.The developer has me busy with new and old fences using only the Gray Away. I really need help for the most part it's been only me and 1 pump! The most stain i stained on 1 fence was 2K x 2 sides almost 200 gallons! 135 sqft per gal !

Thanks Adam! Good luck on your cedar house bid is it a complete restoration?

How bout this beauty of a dock with a water base primer and some cracking peeling oil base S/W paint.It laughed at my S/H stripper and i'm sure not using a paint stripper over water. So it looks like a primer the whole dock and "i can't believe i'm saying it" I'll re paint the nasty looking fire engine red colored dock.I'm trying to figure out what process will keep this from peeling again? :2eyes: I'm tossing around a 2 tone idea also..... It's a beauty huh Ken?

Looks like good BleAcH job but i would strip it first then see how the wood looks like under that nasty crap.

now thats nasty!

This is the stuff i found

I've see some round sponge type material that comes like rolled up.You scrape out all the wood in between the concrete and use some type glue then push in the spongy stuff to fill in the crack.
