While Aunt Khanh was visiting over Memorial Day Weekend, I would like to say we spent our time shopping, soaking up rays, and enjoying a few well-deserved mojitos (that last one did happen), she was so great to volunteer her time and vacation to help us beautify our home. During many windless, sunny days (and while Andrew was taking a nap), we bleached our very aged deck and then proceeded to stain and waterproof it to improve not only its looks, but also to extend its life.
This is our finished product! If you look at the beam in the background, that piece we did not get around to staining, so you can see what color the deck was before we made it look gorgeous! :)
We also got a new dining set and seating area to bring together the deck. We're hoping that this minor act of staining and waterproofing the deck will be a huge selling point on this house when we are ready to move. So, thank you to my sister, Khanh, for all of the hard work and time she gave up to help us with our house. Believe me, it would have taken much more than a week to do it if she wasn't around.
