This past winter with the brutal January cold was not kind to the deck out back. The three successive nor'easters in March beat it up and then the April snow dump finished the horrors. I had refinished the damn thing last spring and was hoping to catch a couple of years out of my work but that wasn't going to happen. No way I was going into a major project again this spring so I just patched it up best I could this morning with some additional Rust-Oleum 10X Deck Restore tinted "cedar". After it completes drying I hope to get this year out of the deal.
And out front the National Ensign flies proudly.
