0 GymRat 14 Report post Posted October 21, 2005 Looks great Michael, but do I detect another opportunity on the roof. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
0 tropical wave 22 Report post Posted October 21, 2005 Im really dissapointed with the way the first pic came out, looks poopy, but the second one (with the floor) is the way the whole deck looks. Is this "the one"? well, lets just say this "is just one" and leave it there. :) the color is Natural Cedar. It was supoosed to rain today, but the sun is out, maybe I'll head back out and check it in some good light. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
0 seymore 90 Report post Posted October 21, 2005 Looks Pretty :cool:.. Mike but you missed a spot that needed sanding ;) Call me when you get some time... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
0 tropical wave 22 Report post Posted October 21, 2005 Cute Shane, very cute... :) The roof needs replacing, lots of shingles are curling up, they just replaced the siding, did the deck, next year they'll do the roof and a patio down near the deck.... trying to work the neighbor, they need a serious deck restoration....would be another challenge, its so gray, its black and the green growing on it looks like astro-turf...... went by today, weather was better and the color settled in a bit after just one day, it'll look even better in a few more, but since I was there I snapped a couple more....you can see the difference in color already....

0 Tronman 14 Report post Posted October 22, 2005 How many gallons of stain did you wind up using? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
0 Degraffreed 21 Report post Posted October 23, 2005 Mike, Was that natural cedar a Ready Seal stain? Keep the pictures coming Is that a one coat or two coat appliacation results? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
0 tropical wave 22 Report post Posted October 23, 2005 Ken, I dont recall how much sealer is left in the pail, but I used less than 4 gallons....It was super windy so I brushed it all, so not too much waste. Tracey Deg, yea its the RS natural cedar. The temps are getting low, the grain was tight and the wood is pretty new, so I didnt take much sealer at all......was applied pretty lightly, so it would penetrate without sitting on top forever in the cooler temps. I actually thought it would take more in since it was a strip and sand job, but it didnt. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
