and the deck is finally finished! I feel like this project took forever, but with it getting dark so early we were really only able to work on it on the weekends. It took us 2 weekends to clean the deck (mostly because we kept having wait to areas to dry before applying more cleaner) and 2 full weekends to put the toner on the deck. I'm glad that project is finished, now we can get back to working on the kitchen :-)
