After like 8 months of working on this thing in chunks, I actually finished staining the deck today. Started it last summer, got halfway through, then kept putting it off because who wants to spend their free time doing that? Got my oldest to help this time and it made it way more bearable. Looks way better than I expected. Now I just need to figure out what the next project is before my wife has any ideas.
That's awesome man, congrats on actually finishing it. I'm learning that completion is half the battle with a new kid in the house. You crushed it.
Eight months is legit! That's the kind of project that keeps getting pushed back with two kids. Bet that finished product feels amazing after all that time.
Respect. I've got three projects in the backyard at various stages of completion and I'm starting to think they might never finish.
This is awesome. Finishing something that big is huge for the brain. Now you get to enjoy it with your family.

Eight months of deck work is no joke. That's commitment right there. How does it look? Stain color you were going for?
