Finding the right color stain and staining it was the worst part of the project!

It looks great! That's the color I'm looking for on my fence. What is the name of the color and who makes the stain? Thank you.

Thanks Jeff! The brand is Ready Seal. The color is Dark Walnut. Really easy to use. I rolled it on. ACE Hardware in Derby is the only local place I found that carries it. https://www.readyseal.com/

Thanks Mark! I was leaning toward a Walnut color. I think I might have a 20% off Ace coupon so that'll work perfect. I appreciate the heads up.

It’s completely over-engineered for what it is. It made it through fine. lol
My flagpole was my only casualty. The flag is probably somewhere in Georgia.

Jet ski season is over and that means it 's time to start on the honey - do list , first up is repainting the front porch post and the shutters green and replacing the front entryway lights , the second is repairing the roof on the back porch , it had quite a bit of rot and water damage , I started on it Yesterday morning taking down the ceiling, today I am taking off the soffit and the bad sections of the roof and decking , I also have to replace three rafters and two ceiling joists , not sure why but they used 4 x4's for the ceiling joists, weird , the rafters will be cut off and sistered together so they will be doubled up on the ends , this house is well over 50 years old so the decking is 1 x 6 non pressure treated pine lumber , I will be replacing the damaged decking with treated plywood and reroofing at least half of the roof .
Doing this in an different way since I am working by myself on this one , I am working mostly from the bottom side , I used a railroad jack and a 4 x 4 to push up on the 1 x's from the bottom , then a sawzall to cut the nails then I cut through the board and remove the roof in sections sawing through the boards and the roofing .
This last pic is a railroad jack , I know most here have never seen one before , it's a very simple mechanism that will lift tremendous amounts of weight and hold it there , I have used it to pick up sections of a house before while making repairs , it is quite simply a freaking beast . This one is the smaller aluminum version , it's probably quite rare , I also have a much larger cast iron version .

This is where I worked today, the place is in Coosa Co. , AL and belongs to a customer I have known almost as long as I have worked on skis. I am the only technician that has ever touched these two skis since he bought them.
One owner 96 Seadoo GTX's , garage kept , under covers , it doesn't get any nicer than this , the one on the left stopped firing , I winterized them last week then went up today to put another CDI box in it and wrap things up.

Yesterday escapades , adventures in jet ski maintaince. You have to remove those covers with about 18 torx screw s, three of them under a twist on cover on the back to get to anything in there to service these such a PITA , still a lot better than working on a Seadoo spark thought thanks so much BRP , you guys are awesome !
