Not All Redwood Is Created Equal

I stained the patio table AGAIN, and one chair, and then ran out of stain. I wrote down the stain color, and as I mentioned last week, could not find the same brand, but thought it would be close enough for outside. I was WRONG! It couldn’t have been farther from being the same! This was almost barn red! Sooooooo, since I’d opened the can, and started to paint, I had to repaint the table and the other chair too. BLECH! While I was a mess, I also spray painted the outdoor stove, and the tools too. At least it’s done! I’ll take pictures of it later, when it’s all put back in place.

ACK! Just thinking about painting (or in this case staining) makes me cringe and makes me hands hurt in sympathy.
Can’t wait to see how it turned out! :)
