Oh, dear.....kind of messy. And in Texas, it was in the '70s and chilly. Of course, I didn't take a sweater or jacket. Who would need them at Port Bolivar in June?

We had to redo our deck in St Cloud. It is redwood and Jay made the mistake of using the power washer when it was set too strong. So.....he had "the guys" take up every plank, plane it, use a router on the edges and replace it. Then he stained it with this stuff we have sent from California. It lasts for years compared to other options.

Have you found a source for redwood in Minnesota? We haven't.

It is a good thing Jay hired a gardener to take over while we were in Texas. Then he didn't have to worry about the lack of rain and appropriate temperatures.

Here are a couple of tell-tale Texas photos.....the birthday girl dancing and the "view". Enjoy.
