Here are two before photos of what the deck looked like before we purchased the house:
It's pretty bad. Since we don't have the money to replace all the wood we are painting the wood with some special paint that gives the wood a rubbery texture. It protects the wood from getting any worse plus you would never know it looked this bad. Ha! We are going to replace the two steps because it's pretty rotten and unsafe.
Tommy and I started painting the desk a week or two ago (before all the rain). We used a paint sprayer to paint the railings white. Then we used a roller to paint the floor boards a brown color. We purchased two gallons for the floor boards...and it wasn't even close to covering the whole deck like we thought it would. We'll need at least another 4-5 gallons. It's not cheap stuff so we are waiting until payday to purchase more paint so we can finish the deck.
Here is a few photos of the deck today:
We may need more than 4-5 gallons. I think it needs a second coat. Stay tuned in the coming weeks to see how it turns out.
