Spent the long weekend pressure washing (thanks for the loan of the waster, neighbours!) and staining/oiling our decks. A big job, but wow, they look good!

@xahteiwi heh, you inferred my implication 😉 Excellent 😎

Very nice and tidy!
Scrub with a broom but don't pressure wash. It'll dent the wood ... which I think you discovered yourself.
@futuresprog this time we used an electric pressure washer. Last time, we hired a petrol one (which was crazy-powerful, like very scary). We swept, too.
Petrol ones are for when someone has died after neglecting their property for five years and the estate needs 5 - 10 centimetres of organic material removed from where they thought the driveway used to be.
Or you're doing hydroexcavation.

@lightweight Very nice. I raise that with my recent fence pics (painted but not built by me, many days of work over the last month but finally complete):

@lightweight I know you don't speak with much of a Kiwi accent, but an NZ person talking about oiling their deck normally never fails to give me a juvenile chuckle.
