Patio project

Earlier this summer we completed two home projects.  The first was restaining our deck.  When we bought the house two years ago, part of our offer was that the sellers would stain the deck.  They did but unfortunately they chose the cheapest stain ever so that it didn't last long.  Josh and I did some research and I found a company that said they could protect your deck for 20 years!  One of the coolest steps in their process was that they sand down the wood until it looks brand new again.  Here's a picture: 


Now, come to find out you have to have them out every 5 years to reapply the stain but if we can keep that up then it should last 20 years.  Although it wasn't exactly what they advertised - every 5 years is still better than 1-2 years.  Here's a picture of it completed, look at how that water beads up!
