This is the "working" side of the patio. This is where we have our family

Bar-b-ques and a lot of fun. I was very happy when the final square was sealed.

Absolutely. There is always room for more at a bar-b-que. It will soon be decked out in Red White and Blue to celebrate all of our family back in the USA at least for a while.

From that one anyway. Still a few little projects to go. I am currently mowing 2and1/2 acres of grass with a push mower. The riding mower doesn't want to start. I think it secretly knows I favor the push. So It is getting revenge.

I put that Sherwin- Williams, H and c colored stain sealer on my porch. The first time I put it on with a 4 in brush and killed my back also. Then when I had my house painted, I also bought new stain for porch. I had tears in my eyes when I watched the painters put the stain sealer on with a roller brush. Why hadn't I thought of that!!!

I forgot to say how nice a job you did.

Thank you. Mine was origionally done with a sprayer. It left some bubbles but it was okay. I thought about a roller but couldn't have puddles in the groves or valleys of the stamped texture. I don't have a sprayer so the only option for me was the brush. And the knee pad for gardening when I could no longer stand.
