Chalk one up to for the I think I bit off more than I could chew idea.
I had this great idea that I would strip and stain our deck this weekend while the kids and wife went away to the out-laws house in Indianapolis. I would be able to do this because I would work uninterrupted.
Right now it's about 164 degrees outside and the deck off the back of our house, is looking as if it's the size of the deck on this thing.
The stuff that I'm using to strip the old stain off needs to be administered without direct sunlight. I thought surely I could use this before the deck gets in the shade. Let's just say that when our children have times when they don't follow directions, I can now truly say the apple doesn't fall far from the tree.
I'm an idiot.
Let's see there are corrosive chemicals and a pressure washer involved. Perhaps I should have invested in the rubber gloves.
Now the goal is to just have it stripped and cleaned, ready and prepared for stain before they get home.
Did I mention it's 164 degrees outside?

We are enjoying our day at the out laws pool...me, your wife, and your kids...did I fail to mention it is 164 degrees out:)
