Staining the Deck
This summer we had to re-stain the deck, so we decided to try Sherwin-Williams SuperDeck stain. The results are beautiful.
The product reviewed in this post was provided in part by Sherwin-Williams. All opinions are my own.

My new Ryobi tools!! A review.
Today we have a very special post for you from my dad!!! It’s a review of some of the tools we used to build my new deck. Ryobi provided the tools reviewed in this post, but all opinions are those of Jessie Rayot and her father. Enjoy!
Hello Jessie At Home fans, Jessie’s dad, Chris Anest here, and today I’m getting to step out from behind the curtain and make my blogland debut as a contributing writer. It is my pleasure to have the opportunity to tell you about the fine woodworking power tools that the Ryobi Company makes. Specifically their excellent TSS120L 12” sliding miter saw and Universal Miter Saw Quickstand. I will not be going into technical details but will focus on the practical aspects of what makes these two tools and all Ryobi tools an excellent value and a joy to use.
For the technical bits please refer to the links at the bottom of this review. If you buy your Ryobi tools online you can be reasonably sure they will arrive without damage as Ryobi does a superior job of packaging their tools. Our saw and stand arrived via Fedex at our door in perfect condition. If you buy them at a store and see a bashed corner or torn side it is very likely the actual tool will be fine.
The deck is done (ish)
Well, with the exception of painting, the deck is done! Here are some photos of the process. The girls helped Daddy and Grandpa dig the post holes. They go 36″ down! Here they are helping more, this time with the deck frame. The outer frame is done!! The last of the inside framing. Dad put the router to a LOT of use making notches in the railing posts. Here we have Vada, the human clamp. Kyla and Vada enjoyed helping … Read more
