Staining the playset

Before

I ended up staining the play set today. I managed to even get the very top stained without killing myself, which I think is a bonus, really. There were a few spots, like the roof, that looked pretty sun beaten, and the stairs were pretty worn, and they look, well, less worn and sun beaten now. All the other spots actually look pretty nice. I can take it off my list until this time next year...

I have also got the lawnmower going for the year, the lawn was starting to look a little shaggy (about the same as my hair, really) and I used my brand spanking new weed whip - with pivot action to also be an edger. The old weed whip bit the dust last year in a cloud of smoke. The engine on the thing fried.
