Started this project back in June and after 4 months of weekends and some nights I finally got the last board stained last night. My back is killing me but man does it look good. Threw a little cookout with the neighbors today and everyone said it turned out great. Feels amazing to actually finish something instead of it sitting half done for a year like everything else I start.
That's awesome man. I'm still trying to figure out how to get anything done with an 8 month old, so respect for powering through the whole summer on this.
Congrats on finishing that beast. I can't wait until my little one is old enough where I can actually tackle a project like that instead of holding a baby all weekend.
Four months of weekend work, that's dedication dude. Your back will thank you once you get some rest, but that feeling of finishing something that big is unbeatable.
Getting the whole family out there to enjoy it now makes all those hot afternoons worth it. Nothing beats finishing a project like that.
This is the stuff I want to get to before my kids grow up. Respect for sticking it out. Summer projects can be tough when you're balancing everything else.

Four months of weekends is serious dedication. That's the kind of project that feels amazing when it's done. How many times did you restart a section that wasn't right?
