This week’s project has been The Deck. Monday morning we cleared it of all furniture, rugs, and potted plants then cleaned it with chlorine bleach and deck cleaner. Tuesday we let it dry. Tuesday evening we started staining it. All told it took four days, two quarts of cleaner, one gallon of bleach, two and a half gallons of stain, one and a half gallons of clear coat, a roller with a long handle, a brush, two dedicated workers who slept well each night and are ready to do it again. Thank heavens for four sunny days. Now it can rain on Friday if it wants. But the deck is beautiful again and happily anticipating hosting it’s annual event the end of this month.
Burgh House Hampstead
Off the beaten path is Hampstead is the more than three hundred year old Burgh House with a fascinating history. It’s now a community center, local museum, gallery, concert venue, event space, and more open to the public four days a week. We popped over for a bite to eat and to peruse the galleries to learn a little more about Hampstead history.
Fine work! Enjoy your efforts!
