Worked on the house a little more this weekend. If the rain would have stayed at bay we would have gotten a lot more done.
Here is the deck (after replacing 4 feet of timber but still ugly as crap). The previous owners PAINTED the deck BLUE to match the interior carpet
it wasnt a deck sealer, it wasnt a stain, it was "maybe" exterior paint.

After borrowing a pressure washer from Rex and Julie... it looks like this:

Its still not 100% and there were stops of the paint we just couldnt wash off. Also the deck is showing some of its age... SO before we redo the whole thing we decided to try the Rustoleum Restore (<!-- m --><a class="postlink" href="http://rustoleumrestore.com/">http://rustoleumrestore.com/</a><!-- m -->). Hopefully it busy us 5-10 years on the deck while we figure out what we want to do with the deck/outside kitchen/garden area. The deck is the only area getting over 6 hours of sun per day spring through fall.
The next issue is the crawl space access. You can see the epic paint job from the previous owners. It was starting to rust a little and i need to work on the latching system a little to make it work "better"

I'm not 100% on the green. i like it now... but i dont know about in the winter time. I might try to find a brown. but for now this rustoleum paint job will do the trick.
