How To Save An Old Deck
25.06.2023 - 12:17 / hometalk.com
We live in a very old farmhouse, and for lack of better words, the deck has seen better days.
It wasn't quite rotting, although the railing sure was. But the wood is cracked, lacking moisture, and all the layers of paint had been chipping off. It wasn't in our budget or our schedule to replace it this year, so we had to find a quick solution!
We chose to use Rust-Oleum's 20x deck resurface solution which promised a deck transformation in a day!
This was one side of our deck before. We have a large concrete patio separating the two wooden decks, but altogether have approximately 300 square feet of wood decking that surround the side of our farmhouse.
And the other side of the deck after we ripped down the rotting railing that served no purpose!
You will need to measure your deck to decide how much of each product you will need! Each product specifies the square footage it covers.
You will need each of the following:
Step One: Wash
The First thing we did was wash our deck with the deck and patio cleaner. It is a concentrate so you do need to mix it with water according to the directions on the back. We had a long handled scrub brush, and used this to apply it to the deck and scrub the years of dirt and mildew off.
Once you’ve washed the entire deck with this, let it sit. We waited about 10 minutes since we had already power washed our deck prior, and rinsed the deck wash all off.
The directions say to only let your deck sit for 30 minutes after cleaning and rinsing before moving on to priming. This means your deck WILL still be wet when you apply the primer. Just remove any standing water with your deck brush, a squeegee or a leaf blower (which is what we used) and you’ll be ready for priming!
Step Two: Prime
Once you’ve washed

How to design a white garden | House & Garden
A garden with a restrained planting palette can be so exciting and atmospheric. Nowhere is this more true than in the case of the white garden. The limitations of choosing plants of a single colour means you can focus your attention; in fact there are so many plants out there that if you don’t have some sort of guiding principles when you set about designing your garden, you will soon be lost and overwhelmed with options.

What Is A Rain Barrel And Can It Actually Save You Money?
Water is essential for life. Your plants need water to grow and thrive, and more during the hotter months. Ever wondered about catching rain to use during times when there is less or no rain? Installing a rain barrel allows you to do exactly that: collect and store a natural resource for later use. Harvesting rainwater has many benefits from saving money on your water bill to utilizing what freely falls from the sky for times when raindrops aren’t so abundant.
