This is the deck for my wife's snow cone stand which is seasonal. About this time every year I start doing the maintenance work that needs to be done for the place to look good. This deck gets high traffic so we have to paint it every year. I didn't paint last year cuz I am tired of it and wanted the paint to start flaking off. I want to get rid of the paint and seal it so I do.t have to mess with it every year. I am also redoing the railing.
