Fourth of July

It feels like Saturday.
Great day, perfect weather, especially for this morning’s parades.
Last weekend’s power washing was one of the hardest outdoor jobs I’ve ever done and by about 4 on Sunday afternoon, I was finished.
It worked, though, so it took CM, James and I less than an hour to scrape and sand the deck. CM helped me pick out a good-looking Cabot stain. It was quite busy at the one hardware store that was open.
Next step will be to wash and re-paint the railings, probably this weekend, since rain is predicted through Friday.
Now that the worst is over, I’m looking forward to getting this job done.
