existing deck update

ok. let's review. here is what our deck used to look like. peach colored loveliness that got disgustingly dirty.

we knew that the wood was in pretty good shape unlike the other portions of the deck that extend into the yard. so we sanded away the peach and grit and found it was lighter colored than we thought.

rob believes it some sort of fir and we sanded and stained/oiled it with what we're using on the cedar (of the deck we built). its simply "natural cedar" color. but doesn't it look wonderful compared to that peach?

VERY nice! And the dog coordinates nicely as well. Did you also paint the back of your house?

Love it!
