A Lot of Hard Work

Our deck was in dire need of staining, and Brad mentioned he was considering hiring the job out. The kids asked if we would hire them, and it was a win/win. They earned some extra money and we saved some. They also realized how much work staining a deck is. After the pressure washing and sanding, they spent two days staining:

We are letting them recover a bit before we offer them the fence gig.
