The weather was perfect for staining... 
We are "thinking" of doing another coat on the top rail and deck floor. 
It was lots of work, but...totally worth getting it done! It really transforms the deck!!!
Yep...we started staining everything in sight!
Okay...Okay...this door still isn't done...my bad!
Remember I did say anything that was bare wood was getting stained? 
We meant it...with the still gorgeous weather we have no excuse!
Still waiting for the grass to grow, but I think the side porch is looking good! 
It was good to get this done...
There is less dirt coming in the house these days...
Okay, that's done...we'll move to the set of stairs down from the garage next.
The reason for our lack of posts? We have been furiously staining any bare wood surface we could find... 
We've had wonderful staining weather for the past 3 weeks and made good use of it.
Advertised to bloom late summer thru first frost...who knew we'd have frost alerts the very next night?
