home improvement update.....

ok, so.....i went through 2.5 gallons of grey stain this afternoon....i had been directed to stain the deck, but when i saw that the sides of the house that protect the deck were looking a tad shabby, i started there and worked down.....or almost there....i don't do heights....so i stained as far up as i could comfortable go with the small ladder.....all but the top 3 rows of siding.....and by the time i did all of the railings, the seats, and the edges of the flooring, there was barely enough stain left for the actual decking boards.....ah well.....for another day....and now i am cleaned up, clad in scarlet and ....well.....black.....and wearing my beat michigan pin...i never did buy one of the cruder buttons......and i seem to recall from year to year where this relic from my youth is stowed......go bucks!
