Re-staining/painting deck

Hey,

 

So we're redoing our deck...and I'm dying here.  Who here has done it and how much sanding did you do?  My deck is huge and I feel like I'm barely making a dent and I'm using a belt sander with 40 grit (I'll go over it with a 60 or 80 really quick after 40 is just to get the paint off) to get this crap off.  I'm going down to pretty much the wood with very little paint/stain still showing.  Am I doing too much?

 

I had a couple of guys come out saying they could get it done in 2 days.  One said I'm sanding too much, the other said the sanding I'm doing is what he'd do.  HOW COULD YOU SAND THE HOLE DECK IN A DAY WITH JUST YOU AND YOUR HELPER!?!?  It's taking me hours just to do a small amount.

 

So, give me some tips and tricks cause I'm either doing too much or what.  I really don't want to pay what one of them was asking, and the other one didn't really sound as good as the second guy.

Right, cause Brandon seems trustworthy.  :rolleyes:

 

I'd recommend getting some friends over with beers and extension cords and it will make it go by faster.

You're my only friends here...so let me know when you're going to come by to help.

 

 

I've had the boys over for beers and to whip each other with extension cords but I don't know how you would stain a deck that way.

As I said before get a very strong sand paper it will rip it off easily.

I might have some time to help between 11 and 1 on Sunday night.  So if you take a few boards off, leave them and some beer by the side of the road for me to pick up, I'll take them home and help put a dent in them.  Figuratively, and possibly literally, depending on how much beer is involved.

don't think Logan sees any humour in this.

Too bad. This isn't the Logan Ave. Comfort Station you know.

Oh.  No, that's all filmed in Tindale Saskatchewan.  You can see the Howler when they walk down the street from time to time in the show.

sorry, I was kidding.
