Drunk....?  Yeah, we're drunk.

Absolutely beautiful morning here in southern MN, 64 degrees and sunny. What am I going to do today? Tear it up for hours on the bike? Go to the flat track races at the local cycle club? Do some trail riding on the ATV? Kick back, relax, and relish the day?

Hell no! I get to stain a deck.

WTF.     

[SacDuc]

Why in the hell would you ever stain a deck?

It won't last. You'll only have to refinish later. Wax it and let it grey out. Because its going to any way.

Deck "water proof" sealers are a scam. A scam that makes you buy more of the same shit two years later. They don't work.

Use teak, ipe, white oak or red wood and don't even bother with a finish. Twenty years from  now replace rotting boards as needed.

I have to agree and I don't even have a deck. 64 degrees??!! Hell, it's already pushing 90 and humid here! It's a good 10+ degrees over normal and it's the same every single day. It probably won't rain again until October. Don't need to go to hell... I already live there.

Go do everything you said you wanted to do. Screw the deck stain.

Why in the hell would you ever stain a deck?

Because the original builder of the desk stained it, so I don't have much choice. Plus, the deck is cedar and looks like total ass when it weathers.

The stain (oil based) actually lasts quite a while. The walking surface typically lasts about 3-4 years, and this is the first time in 8 years that I've had to do the spindles and such.

Got the worst 3/4 of it done, time to drink beer.
