                        <content:encoded><![CDATA[I'm adding a 12x11 deck addition to a 16x16 11year old deck. The old deck is pressure treated pine(?, has been restained 3 times over the years with a Cabots semi-transparent cedar stain. The old decking is remarkably unchanged - I've given it a light pressure washing yearly, mostly to remove mold and dirt. Should I replace the old decking or can I just strip, clean and restain all decking? We use the deck almost daily and I'm frankly ignorant about these matters. The deck is mostly shaded in summer.Live in Pittsburgh area]]></content:encoded>

                        <content:encoded><![CDATA[We are extending our deck by adding on another 8' along the house. During this process we found that the deck wasn't built as well as it should be, but due to costs (grad school) we've decided to continue with our plan, and then demo and rebuild the whole thing within five years. For the time being though we are adding new wood right next to old and I would like a stain recommendation.<br />
	<br />
	The previous owners used an orange-yellow sikkens stain (that we hate). We plan on stripping the old wood, brightening old and new, and re-staining. It would be nice to use semi-transparent, but would that be enough to mask the old/new seam?<br />
	<br />
	Here are our details:<br />
	1) Portland, OR<br />
	2) Full sun<br />
	3) Cedar<br />
	4) No mold problems<br />
	5) Old deck less than 10 years old, poorly maintained/adding extension.<br />
	<br />
	Thanks!<br />
