Wood care training

[Chappy 138]

Is there anyone in the west florida area willing to let me trade a day or two of labor for some hands on experience with wood decks? No one I know has one for me to learn on. and I cant sell the service if I havnt ever done one, at least not in good concience.

E mail me at Jchapman@gumbusters.com

Or call 727-432-2501

Thanks, B&R Thats a little far for me, But I have thought about it when I saw you offer some one else..

I get the impression that most of the decks up there are hard woods. But every one Ive seen down here is Pressure Treated, (pine?)

I would think the techniques would be different along with the stains.

I will keep your offer in mind.

Actually the majority are PT wood. Cedar is also popular, and Redwood and Ipe are becoming more popular. Ipe seems to be the new alternative to trex around here.

Actually thats very interesting, Looking at some of the pictures of your work, youd never think those decks are PT. I guess Ive just never seen a well Maintained deck.

I just had a thought. Im going up to NC in june and my father has a big deck. I think Ill Practice on his. Ill Call for advice before I go and have product shipped there.

SunBrite in North Atlanta offers a wood restoration class in May. I believe the details are on Delco's site. Tell Pete that I sent you.

I took the Sun Brite course a couple years back and learned a ton. Chris and Pete put together a very thorough coarse that cover wood restoration and running your business. I highly recommend it.
