Our deck is getting a facelift too!

So we had the deck power washed and they are in the process of staining it now.  This is so very necessary when you have a bunch of little characters who think that anything outside is "outside", so my poor deck is anointed regularly.  To keep it up and nice for them, it has to be regularly done.  I tried power washing it myself this spring, and it took me days to do, but the professionals finish up in hours.  Hopefully the staining will protect it for a few years anyway.
