Progress on the decking, for those who care ;-) used a cleaner called prep-deck with pressure washer after to get old layers on treatment off.
And finally sanded it all down in readiness for new treatment when it arrives. Pretty good way to enjoy the sun and get some exercise :-)
Another weekend and more work on the patio https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="😎" title="Lächelndes Gesicht mit Sonnenbrille" aria-label="Emoji: Lächelndes Gesicht mit Sonnenbrille"> balau wood decking restored to former glory with penetrating oil. Next weekend I have to do the sleepers, then the next bit of decking and the raised veg box. And then the whitewashing, so not much left to do...https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="🥺" title="Pleading face" aria-label="Emoji: Pleading face">

Phase one complete
Turned out better than I’d imagined!
That moment when you wonder about the colour choice?!?
Starting to feel more comfortable with the colour and it is supposed to mellow when full dry. Had to stop to avoid trapping myself! We managed to teach the cat to come into the window whilst it’s drying too https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="💪" title="Angespannter Bizeps" aria-label="Emoji: Angespannter Bizeps">

Waterproof treatment to finish off. P.s. this thread has miles to go, racing to get it all done before they develop a vaccine / open the pubs.
And now because when you make things you make everything else look bad... painting all the exterior masonry #neverendingstory
