Back in March I bought two cans of Redwood Stain for my deck. Since then I have been trying to clean the deck and prep it so that I can stain it. From what I understand I need 4 dry days before I stain and about 3 days after so that it doesn't get messed up. And I'm thinking it's going to take me about 3 days to stain it. So far the only time it's been dry was when I we too depressed to get out there and do it.
Today I cleaned up all of the starter pots that the crows had ransacked looking for more stale bread. Then I got out the seven and bug proofed the entire thing. There was a colony of tiny spiders living at one end of the railing. Ugh!
Then since I had the bug stuff out I sprayed the entire foundation and planted my yellow mums and the lisanthus. And I started to water the fruit trees. About then the clouds gathered, the thunder boomed, the lightening struck and I turned off the water and ran for the house.
Then the flood hit. Loosening several pieces of my siding. And of course washing away all of the bug proofing. Well at least the ground should be soft enough to do some weeding.
