We are lucky to live in the basement apartment below the home of our “new” friends and landlords, Betty and Ron. The apartment includes a sunroom off the kitchen and a deck off the sunroom. The deck is covered and we have enjoyed sitting out there in the heat of the day, in the evening when I get home from work, and in the rain watching the trees swaying in the wind.
But the deck and lattice-work fence are new and they hadn’t been stained yet.
So yesterday morning at 7am the 4 of us set out to “get her done.” It was quick and easy thanks to Ron’s foresight in getting a good sprayer for the paint. He sprayed, Mike held giant pieces of cardboard to cover the plants and things that we didn’t want sprayed, while Betty and I followed with paintbrushes to spread the paint evenly.
By 9:30 we were sitting in the yard enjoying the beginning of another sunny day in Salem. This morning I moved the furniture back to the deck and now we’re ready for more enjoyable time out on the deck.

It looks great! Thanks for all your help. It made it a lot easier. I am scheduled to shuttle Mike to appointments on Tuesday. See you then Mike!

That looks like a nice place. I wish I could afford to live in Salem.
the deck looks great! is that the bromeliad i gave you? i finally got one for myself. actually, i've bought so many plants the place is beginning to look like a jungle-i LOVE plants.
just got back from ocean shores this afternoon. it was a very relaxing and enjoyable vacation.
did you get my last e-mail? i wrote right before leavving for the shore-at least i think that's when.
take care and say hi to mike, betty, ron and a pat on the head for sitka. by the way, jack had a great time at the beach. luckily we were able to find a place that took pets.
