Four coats of white deck paint and today I applied the 1st coat of poly-acrylic to seal and finish-only 5 more coats to go!
The painting goes quickly...I've been allowing an inordinate amount of time between coats so that it can cure properly. Seems like I have been working on this 'project' for months!
OY my aching knees-this old gal is feeling the burn! I've been working with a brush instead of a low mat roller--better control and I like the overall finish a lot more.
Can't wait to finally have it finished then I can place my antique black settee along the long wall and start hanging a few of my antique framed black and sepia toned etchings I won at auction a while ago.
I think my landing turned out pretty well--

Exactly Darlene!!! I know how your husband feels about any-one walking on a new floor...I am still tip-toeing around.
I had a friend who had just installed some very expensive parquet wood floor and had a guest come to dinner with 'heels' on---ruined her floor. I thought my friend would lose it. Little dents everywhere---I think I would have asked everyone to come in without shoes only socks!
I actually have abrasions on me left knee and the top of my left foot-I must favor the left side--I am left handed!!

Melody, it's beautiful. Your poor aching back and knees! I don't think we ever get done. We put a new floor in the dining room and my husband didn't want anyone walking on it. LOL!
Be Blessed and Be a Blessing,

Very funny Grace!
Just when I think I am 'caught' up for a while--I start looking around to see what else I can do. I gotta get out of this house more often....

It just never seems to end in this OLD house! I've been painting for 20-years....The trouble now is, I don't want anyone 'walking' on it!! I am sure that will pass, but meanwhile I tip-toe around.
Thanks for all the encouragement girls---Makes me smile from ear to ear.

When you are finished it will all be so gorgeous!

Is it the floor that is painted or the rail or both? It looks beautiful, all of it!
