Just curious cos the rest of them looked alright to me and after all that work you did !!!  It would be criminal to use any solid finish !!!

Being a professional painter for many years similar to yourself I've done 100's but not 1000's like yourself! So I'm sure you can imagine the look on my face seeing that ONE replaced board ! I hope it was dangerously rotten after all that work!!!  You've been a REMARKABLY patient advisor although you're last comment!?  I'd be close to breaking point too.

Any direction you want to go with either a solid, semi-transparent, water-based, or oil-based will work as long as you prep correctly and use a high-quality coating. It is not our job to make these decisions for you nor is there one direction that is correct. :)

I am a a crossroads. I know the final decisions are mine  ,just asking what you would do or suggest in my situation.  I was thinking of renting a floor sander with 60/80 grit  then  using an orbital sander  to touch up. . If that works well, I will use hand sanding to finish the hard spots.. I was told not to use a belt sander.Two tone,as suggested is a cool idea. I could still do the railings and rails a different color. Today ... I was thinking a semi- transparent would look great and last longer...BUT  with the new wood replacements, that I can`t stain yet anyway, even using  solids,or get to match ever with transp. ! It would be easier/faster   to go with solid again? That would eliminate( or not ) ? the  heavy and then  intricate sanding needed to prep all areas to look the same  for semi transparent, and cover dark spots and wear. ?If I went the solid route would I still use the Restore a Deck cleaner /brightener kit? As it is 20 yrs old what do you think of my idea and I know the 2 highest rated stains recommended here, but would oil or water based be better considering the age and slightly rough shape? I think Restore a Deck is the way to go but, would a professional (you) choose the oil base for this condition deck?   We have some good weather coming so I`ll get my order in soon. Thank you for being here all the time and helping us! I see the overwhelming amount of professional  advise you share here, and this is too long again, and wondered if you had some kind of tip jar? Thanks Thomas

-You cannot stain the new board yet and it will not blend with a semi-transparent stain. Nothing you do will make it blend.

-Any color you like will work. Darker would just be a preference.

-Finish when ever you have time and the weather cooperates.

-No idea about the siding.

1569 1570 1571 1572

So I have removed most of the solid stain using the RAD. There are a few tough spots that need either more RAD or sanding.I choose to leave railings and spindles solid as they are mostly good. I`m leaving the 12 back stairs as no one uses them or sees them.Stripped the 3 to the yard. I had to replace a rotted floor board,and handrail.I was not able to complete this yet as a few personal issues arose. But I`m back at it now. I ordered the cleaner and brightener and a large brush. I think I need a rented floor  sander ,and borrowed power hand sander. I think the power washer beat the wood up pretty good in a few spots. Tried to back off , but not great removal results ,so hoping sanding will help Alot! A few questions as I proceed:  Should I use RAD on the stubborn spots or go to floor, hand sanding? How to I deal with the new replacement PT boards that really stand out? Can  sanding or brightening  help  match?  I think with the age and condition I will order oil based semi transparent in a mid or darker shade.Any ideas on that? Should I plan on waiting for dry warm weather for a 2-3 days first and try to sand and stain ASAP after ?I will read up more as its been awhile since I was working on this. Its been raining on and off . Despite covering the vinyl siding with plastic the power washer did get RAD spray onto it and I have some white speckles I belive are the gray color bleached out on the siding  by the RAD.Not much I can do except replace siding  I think? Didn`t think it would go up that far! Thanks for your help ,I`m learning alot and getting closer to finishing.. I hope
