Last project i am doing. Pretty sure going to pay for everything from now on, simply don't have the time unless i start sleeping less and that still includes working on this at 1am in between feeds or 5am if i wake up early. Left to do: stairs and railing - should be quick stain all cedar natural gas line for bbq interlock around perimeter of the deck and small flower bed. Been rough without a bbq 
Looking good!! And don't worry it gets easier once they eat solid food and start sleeping all night

That's the one! I'm thinking of either the cedartone or the honeytone. I don't wanna add too much colour to the cedar to be honest. Although the more colour that's in the stain, the better UV protection it has. If you're ordering let me know I need a 5 gallon bucket as well. I need to order the Gemini Restore-a-deck kit for cleaning to.

I think you'll be fine since it's cedar. If it's pressure treated that most people say that you need to let the moisture out of it for a year.
Also, if you want it to look like natural cedar, make sure you don't get too dark of a stain. That's why I want the cedartone or the honeytone. I don't want my shit looking super red.
Let me know if you plan on ordering!

Nice score. How much did that set you back?
about $600
we have a sprinkler system at our place, front and back (previous owner install), pretty sweet setup with drippers and all. used it on and off the first couple of yrs but uses to much water so didn't bother.
i'm wondering how much i should be watering. i split it up into two zones, one for the side and one for the front yard since there's not enough pressure to have them all on at the same time. so I basically run zone 1 for 20 mins at 4am, then run zone 2 for 20mins at 4:25am. can't wait to see my water bill

You should be using rain collection barrels and a cheap 12v pump to water your shit.

beats watering daily like an idiot.
Try your best not to water daily, ideally you should only water at the very first sign of drought (the grass will have a greyish look to it)
Reason is you want the grass roots to grow down deep to get the water, which helps it when the temperature gets really hot.
Watering daily will have you getting mushrooms, red dust, moss & once the hot weather gets here the sun will dry up the water near the top of the soil, just wasting your money.
i'm wondering how much i should be watering.
Or buy about 8 of these from Home Depot https://www.homedepot.ca/en/home/p.2-in-1-deluxe-rain-gauge.1001016921.html

I ordered 3 gallons and my co worker is bringing it back next week. She is like 5'1 so I felt bad ordering a 5 gal bucket lol. Obviously can't have her doing csi missions either.
I am going to that part of the states late this summer so I can grab stain for you then. Let me know if that works and I will let you know when I am going as we get closer.

i remember you telling me about that, that's my next move, i'm re-doing my fish tank water change setup so i'll have a 50 gallon drum available and i have a bunch of pumps, they should be more than enough pressure for the sprinklers. i'll have to re-route a downspout and it should fill up.
