I use the exterior latex redwood stain on my picnic tables. works pretty good.
later today I'll find what I used on the deck & let you know.-- on the dexk I use Wolman F & P Wood finish & Preservative. It is called: natural # 14396 but it has a brown tint. Didn't realize that when I first used it, but now I am committed. There are other tints. It lasts about 2 years. it protects against: Rot & Decay, Mold & Mildew. Water Damage, & UV Graying. NOTE: You have to let new treated lumber "season"--for 6 months I think it is, before you put any kind of paint or stain on it.--Your lumber yard will know how long you need to wait. But be sure to ask, because after you spend the $$ on a new board, you do not want it to go bad----

largest fruit. When plants are not pruned or pruned too lightly, they become dense with weak, twiggy growth. They fail to develop strong new wood for future fruit production and have small fruit. Severe pruning leads to the production of fewer, larger berries and more new wood.
Annual pruning helps give consistent production of quality fruit.

Well today I finished cutting the trim and putting it on the shed. Now it just needs lots of paint. So far I've got two coats on most of the front of it and about enough paint to finish off the front. Then I'll just need another gallon or two to finish off the other three sides. But I did get the exterior caulk for the knot holes and where my cuts were less than perfect. But hey I'm a learner. I also couldn't resist getting 4 small mums, red, for the mailbox flower bed. They are going to look great out there. But I'm not transplanting them until tomorrow. It is way to hot out there now to do anything.

Thanks Tamara, if felt like the first piece took forever but the second piece went much faster. I felt very proud of myself when I was all done and it fit in place.

Well another 100.00 dollars invested in the house. I got the shellac primer that sticks to the fake wood in the trailer. I'm going to start small and just do the masterbath. The plan in there consist of cream walls, black trim and small black jet bead chandlier and over the mirror fixture also in black. Replacing the sink with a porcilian cream colored one that is a sink and counter all in one. With some kind of faucet that doesn't show the water spots easily.
Then two more gallons of exterior white paint to do the rest of the shed and the fence. But not today it is suppose to rain all day.
Another roller and paint brush and of course another tube of caulk.

Sounds lovely TK, you can buy faucets with darker finishes..the spots won't show as easily. A house is never ending for taking your money. I still have repairs here to get caught up on..and another window to replace before winter. A little at a time..we are getting it done as you are  You're doing a great job.

I did finish the 5 posts yesterday on the porch, an washed the entire floor . So much for repairs.. Many more on the farm, an no hands. A guy stopped yesterday to paint the barn. He laughed at hd chasing the cows with a 4 wheeler. I said, we dont have a horse.LOL good luck tk.show us a photo after. dodge

Thanks for all the kind words. A lady here in my church wanted to hire me. I had to explain that I can only do about an hour to 2 hours of work on any given day and then it has to be before 9 a.m. Of course once I do that someone has to come over and do my place because I don't have any umph to do it lol.
Well today I plan to start painting with the cream colored paint. I hope it covers in one coat like it is suppose to.

well at least someone wanted to hire you. No one will even consider hiring me.
I hope your paint covers in one coat too. A lot of the new paints now do cover well, I will say that.
When my youngest repainted the house they bought, her paint did it in 1 coat.

The cream paint may cover a white wall in one coat but now printed wallboard. So it will be 2 coats. And the silly room is all nooks and crannies and cut in work. It is taking forever. Now I've had enough sunny days I can finish the front of the shed. Who knows I might even wash the fence.

Thanks Dodge. My friend Sharon and her son came over and worked on the bathroom for a couple of hours. They got some of the high work done which is a big help. I'm going to try and work on the area behind the toliet. That's a pain.

Yes it was very sweet. I need all the help I can get. Saturday one of the men from church came over and fixed the masterbathroom shower. So now one of the two I have can be used. The other one still needs shower doors before I will use it. I don't want any problems with the floor because of water flying out at the corners because of a shower curtain.
Did I mention the cat broke the guess bathroom toliet seat? Fortunately those are cheap to replace and easy to install.
