It seems I start a lot of projects...large projects but struggle finishing them. It's not lack of will or desire, but I run into real challenges. Take one of my latest projects...staining the deck. Not hard right? Rent a pressure washer, dry, stain, apply sealer, and you're done...WRONG!
Yup, pressure washer was great for peeling the wood off (note only between the grains) but the stain stayed. 1 week later purchased a belt sander...very effective, but painfully slow and sanding a deck in the afternoon sun is sooo much fun. That's right...rent a wood floor sander...or at least that's Monday's project. We still have to sand the square balusters and the posts/rails...then stain & seal. So how does a day project turn into a 4 week endeavor...simple...it's Our New York Life...and I love it!
