Deck Cleaning

Because the Colorado SouthWest exposure has pounded our deck, I've spent many years cleaning and staining the deck. No more, as I replaced it with stamped concrete! But there was one last deck cleaning that I had to do which was to get all the stuff off of it so they could do the deck demolition derby. So with assistance from my wife and photography from my 7-year old son Dirk, here's what it looked like as I "cleaned" my wood deck for the last time.

Cleaning your deck is hard work!
