Get decked w/ Ira

July 7th, 2008 by Jason

Jason: FINALLY! The deck is stained… [check-out the pics]

It took 11 gallons of stain and 5 days worth of hard-work.

Robin and Jason are finally finished staining the back deck.

And it looks great plus today’s rain water is beading-up on it now- so apparently it’s working well!
