Spots - the difference!

Brain fade after a very early start.......I forgot to do what was to have been the third 'Spot the difference' shot between the 1st coat and the 2nd and final coat.  Instead, here's just one of the arms complete with evidence of its new-found water-resistant surface, kindly provided by the first rain in quite a few weeks.  Yay :)  A pity that there wasn't more but it's better than nothing.  It also brought a much cooler day which was a welcome relief.

The early start was due to needing to get the deck hosed and ready for the 'special cleaning' I was going to be giving it before the sun came up and dried things out too quickly.  Job started about 6.45 am and whole deck finished at 11.30am.  Too much bending for my poor back but the deck does look a lot cleaner and freer of patches of black mildew now.  Am still considering whether to add a coat of oil.

All that's left now is to get the furniture put back together (fabric seats) and re-arranged on the deck and I'll be ready to relax a bit........or maybe I'll binge on a bit of overdue gardening.......

OK - back to the tennis now with a cuppa and a biscuit :)
