It's just like the Golden Gate Bridge ...
... once you're finished painting, you have to start all over again. That's what Wayne says about our float cabin deck.
At least once a year, the cedar boards need to be repainted with wood stain. We've tried a variety of colours. The first was light tan, but it didn't go well with our light yellow walls. Then we tried redwood, and it was a hit.
The wood stain helps our cedar deck boards last longer. Another bonus, the slimy moss that used to come after winter rains doesn't form on the painted surface. That used to make it dangerous walking outdoors on a wet deck.
Deck painting is one of the things Wayne likes to do alone. Who am I to argue with that? -- Margy

Painting or repainting is an annual happening indeed. But it is rewarding!

it is a lovely shade of red and I agree...a man needs his time alone.
ReplyDeleteLOL, makes me laugh that Wayne prefers to do that alone, lucky you! Painting is definitely something I do not enjoy, but our ramp sure could use something to keep the slippery moss away!
