It is finished.

For the second time in just over a year, Keith has finished re-finishing the back deck.  No, we're not over-particular deck owners (not by a long-shot), it just so happens we've owned two back decks in the past year.  Each in a sad state of disrepair.  Hopefully now we can take a break for a while.

We had hoped that this year's project would be a little less daunting than last years.  Just pressure wash the deck, stain it, and call it a day.  Two week-ends later, we're done.  Which worked up to a point, until...  Well, the top railing is pretty sad, we probably should sand that...  And you, know, actually all the railings are pretty sad, we should probably sand them all.  And before you know it, a 2-weekend project has become a 2+ month project.

But now it's done.  Special thanks to Hume who came over for several hours to help out on Saturday morning, saving Keith several hours on Sunday afternoon.  (Or perhaps we should thank Rochelle for leaving town for 2 weeks so Keith was bored enough to come over.)  As it was, we ate dinner on Sunday at 8:30 since I knew there was no way in heck Keith was going to come inside until it was DONE.
