                        <content:encoded><![CDATA[Hello guys<br />
	I build my deck last year from Cedar Tone Pressure Treated Southern Pine.<br />
	It is exactly 7 months since I finish it. Once the temperatures reach 50's and stay 50F at least I would like to start staining the deck. What should I do first? And what to use? Any help will be greatly appreciate it since I never done this before. <br />
	Also if this helps I live in Frankfort Illinois.<br />
