Fixing the Deck

We have a mess at the Fleck home!! We decided we wanted to seal coat our deck with a color instead of clear like in the past this year. Well, we trusted a "new" brand that is rated number one on consumer reports instead of using the same brand we have always used. We did not like the color at all! It looked like paint and you couldn't see the wood grain through it, even though you were suppossed to. SOOOO, Brad has been working on stripping the stain!! It is a very time consuming process as you put the stripper on, but cannot let it dry. It is coming off, but it has taken 3 times so far and there are a few more spots left to do. If the wind would go away, it would be easier as the stripper could stay on longer. Anyway, here are picture of what Brad has been spending his time doing lately. I am not much help as Alea is in a very clingy stage and does not like to be left alone while mommy and daddy work!!!
