This video cracked me up. I’ve been watching so many video on updating decks and stumbled upon this one. This really helped to avoid mistakes but your commentary had me cracking up. I appreciate you sharing this video and really hope everything turns great the second time around.
How to avoid this guy‘s mistake: humble yourself before God, don’t be so arrogant as to think that you can do in 1 day what takes professional painters and Stainers like 5 or 10 years of experience to master #hardtruth
As a painter this vid made me cry . Dude first off step one which was power wash which you did . Second you gotta use a wood brightener and scrub brush to clean the wood . Then sand down the deck with a orbital sander . Then you stain . But stain 3 boards at a time all the way across with a brush and roller .
Dude said it look like we burned the deck down 😂😂. The stick broke while rolling, the spray nozzle jumped off and dripped white paint everywhere. You had a terrible week but I'm going through the exact samething. Valspar honey gold look like old mustard once it dried on my new 10x16 yellow pine treated. Used valspar stripper and garden hose nozzle to remove old stain but it didn't budge. I used elbow grease on the entire deck. Scrub brush, steel pot scrubber, sand paper, and water hose. Walked on it and almost injured myself on the slippery ice surface
thank you for showing me I am not the only one that has made so many mistakes when it comes to my deck restoration also. Mega props, loved to see current status of your deck.
1. Sand 2. Deck cleaner using scrub brush and garden hose. 3.Deck brightener 4. Let dry 1-2 days 5. Stain with brush on non sunny day 6. Make sure no rain for 2 days Repeat in 2-4 years.
What deck cleaner and brightener do you suggest. I am having issues getting an old stain and sealer off that peeled up and now have dark areas that I am having issues with. I am using one stripper that turns red to black when I use it and is very gummy once it turns that color. Is it supposed to do that? I have sanded the whole deck and these trouble spots are giving me fits. I have done it twice now on these dark areas and still looks awful. I am using Valspar deck stripper. Would mineral spirits work better? I hear they push/draw the stain out of the wood.
I found this to be one of the funniest videos I've seen in a long time. You have the most perfect deadpan voice for narrating a DIY train wreck. The exploding paint project on the deck at the end... priceless. I apologize for laughing at your misery but it really was funny.
Agree...at this point with the condition of the wood, maybe use some filler..then stain. May I ask what is the wood used..fir? I am doing a deck right now at my home..i am using Balau which is supposed to last 30 +. Staining with exoshield tung.
Wow. I am stunned. I hope you learned from this, or at least others will. If this is representative of the quality and attention to detail of your work, good news... it can only get better from here. I wouldn't blame the product in this case.
You might want to invest in an angled grinder and a sander. The angled grinder will completely remove any of the old stain and it will remove all the oxidized and bleached wood. After that, sand it down to remove the scratch marks and gouging from the grinder to get a smooth surface. Clean your deck, get rid of all the dust from the sanding and grinding, there will be a lot of dust, believe me. Then put 2 very thin coats of stain. Do not use too much or it will blister, crack, and peel off after a year or 2. Anyway, I highly suggest you grind and sand your deck next time before staining. Otherwise, you'll end up doing it over again in 2 years or less. Also, never apply stain to damp or wet wood. Good luck!
The joys of home ownership. I can't tell you how many times things didn't go according to plan. We all have these days. Perfection is something that rarely happens in life. Celebrate the trials, go with the flow and enjoy life as it comes. Cheers, I am about to mess up my deck as well. Maybe, hopefully not, but probably. 🤣
They do make stain stripper and you really should strip, then clean your deck with deck cleaner before you stain to restore the woods ph. Also the final color is going to dramatically change depending on the kind and age of the wood.
Thank you for sharing your experiences, I laughed at the end of the video, that abstract art look from the paint gun did the trick. we all make mistakes..
I loved how you was explaining everything, you made it comedic. I was going to get black as well..THANK YOU FOR THIS VIDEO..love your trail and errors, because alot of ppl make it look easy, so thanks for the video
Always mix can real good roll or spray with the grain one by one fully without skipping lightly one coat usually two coats will do,, boiling water with dish washing soap is your friend let it set in spill paint for 8 min. Then scrub with a sponge or use ragged over scrapper to remove it, nail polish remover may help if not it's lacquer thinner blend with soapy boiling water, ,those work best
Misery loves company!! ROFL...but seriously thank you so so much for sharing. I started my deck yesterday, never did it before. But I learned so much from your experience. I'm definitely going to start with a test patch to make sure its want I envision.
Don't use a Harbor Freight Greenwood sprayer to apply your sealent either. The nozzle kept popping off and the shit all over me. The wind didnt help matters. 2 gallons covered my entire 12x48' deck inside and out. Plus me. I hope the rest of the 5 gallon can dont go bad for my next staining in 3 years.
The picture at 2:51 definitely is not cinder. Cinder clearly did not match the wood in the picture however the description of bold, dark or dramatic was spot on.
Homie - I'm going to give you a thumbs up and I'm subscribing to your channel just because you're honest enough to show your failure.... We The Gentlemen of Culture salute you👈🧐
I’m a painter buy trade my head is spinning. U need to sand the complete deck with an orbital sanding machine. 60 grit for your deck. And re do it with clear decking oil . Don’t get a stain if u want it to look natural
The whole deck needs replacing bro. I bet it's just landscaping timbers underneath but your breaks are supposed to be staggered. I would pull all the decking boards up, turn them over, and make sure they all don't break in a straight line. You'll have to cut them but it will be more structurally sound
Go to the Cabot channel here on TH-cam. You will appreciate the short yet informative videos. Your deck wood looks very hungry. You might want to first use a penetrating wood oil. Your deck will soak it up and those cracks will disappear. Penetrating oils are clear or tinted. Then follow up with a sealer a season later. I don't really care for solid stains because I still have to strip and clean and sand every 5 years. Penetrating oil is an application done every year without all that prep work. By the size of your deck, it is comparable to the task of mowing the lawn. Watch those vids on the Cabot channel. Oh and get a pole sander. You only have to sand the wood until you feel the "drag" is gone, not to totally refine the wood. Do make sure your wood is clean. Oxalic acid is a wood bleach and draws out ground-in dirt and tannins from the wood. Yes, then sand. And always READ the label: Application, Clean up, Safety, especially with those oily rags!
deck rehab prob would have been a better investment, those deck boards were not worth the effort you gave!!! live and learn..good luck in the future, I see a new deck coming and a more positive you!!! BTW....lots of others have failed and didnt share!!! best of luck
I have a a professional company that color looks similar to black alder , the color looks good it's the job and technic is blotched, you can roll but you have to have someone back brush to even everything out , still would have looked nice if it was done correctly 😉 and also should have used a semi transparent
Thanks for sharing your bad experience, it helps the rest of us! And any DIY’er has made their fair share of mistakes, some much more costly and time consuming, just don’t like to admit it!
You make me feel like misery loves company!!! I made a similar mistake too. Only thing is it cost us a lot of money. We had our fence power washed and stained a solid color and I did not like the color at all!! Now we are stuck with it because we can’t spend more money to have it redone.
You had to use a wood stripper and power wash it after, not just bleach. And for that type of deck (old deck) you are better off with a solid color stain. It looks bad because you applied semi-transparent stain instead of solid color stain.
Pro tip. DO NOT POWER WASH YOUR DECK OR PROJECT! that just makes the wood really rough, and not safe to walk on barefoot. If you have to power wash it at least by a power washer tip that has multiple nozzles so that you can clean the deck eventually, because leaving streaks and lines is going to effect your next stain and those power washer lines are going to show threw especially if your deck has already been stained before or if it just has a lot wear and green on it. Still a good video though, I’m going threw the same problem as you right now. Trying to make my old deck that is very different in stain quality and wood quality
this will only affect anything semi-transparent and below. If pressure-washed correctly, you should be just fine with a semi-solid or a full solid-stain.
Thank for your video. Good tips. Honestly You should tear the deck down and give yourself more space for gatherings than only limiting your outdoor space to the deck 😉
The boo-boos should go away after sanding. And it's good to know the quality of Olympic is just as bad as bad as valspar. My deck started peeling after 6 months. Great video.
I don't think the first colour was that bad. Probably not the best choice for a traditional house and garden, but I wouldn't despise it so much. On the other hand, I think that the wood of your deck really needs to be replaced, it's full of cracks.
Bro we’ve all been there with projects and said “What the hell did I just do.” All good! I gotta admit u made me bust up 😆 when u threw ur roller-pole! I say tear that deck down, wood looks old and cruddy. That way u can put the same effort into a brand new beautiful deck! Good luck!
OMG .. was going o post something until sorry but i had to laugh with your unfortunate sprayer accident. ... 1- Stain is SUPPOSED to penetrate. you said at 3:10+ "unfortunately the stain soaked in..." ... yes for best results next time dilute your 1st coat 10-15% to allow for stain to BETTER PENETRATE INTO wood. doesn't matter if your finish isn't ideal but you want the stain to penetrate. with a deck as weathered as yours you needed infinitely more stain to be applied on 1st coat vs the very sporadic amount you used. think of min 50-100% more thn what you used. and make sure you do the in between the boards. it should look 100% completely covered but at the edges of each plank it will look darker n wetter because u applied more stain since u would have brushed there and rolled or better yet used a stain applicator ( sheepskin best) and applied with the grain.... then on 2nd coat you don't need to do in between planks but just the entire surface top again direction going with the wood grain and you have a deck that will look good AND last longer cause u protected the wood not just tried to top it. but i gotta give u credit for your hard work
LMFAO! lol.. Ok look! The black color is what they use on luxury real estate. They will also have flat black box planters. You could have just left it. Now after you power washed the black off, and there is still black ghost stains, that would have been fine. When you put the redwood finish over it, it created a patina or acid washed look. That look was actually really artistic and nice. You should have left it. Now that you spilled white stuff on your deck, i would dab white stuff all over your deck more.. Then power wash it. So you will have even artistic stains. Then go over it with redwood. You will have a unique pattern. Think artistically and outside of the box. Any way you cut it, you have to resand or power wash it every 5 years. Deck finishes imo only last 2-5 years. Have fun with the colors. Don't be so rigid. It's not like these deck finishes will last 20 yers. Deck finishes are like a painted lawn chair you leave outside. The finish won't last many years so who gives a sheit. lol
Step one should have been demo the POS deck(?). Looked like a pile of old pallet lumber. You had no chance of making chicken salad out of chicken sh...
Mistake 1. You went to home depot. 2. Stain only 2-3 boards at a time to prevent lap Mark's. 3 Next time go to a Sherwin Williams or Benjamin Moore dealer. .
Tell you what bro. I respect you for giving it your best shot lol... but next time look up the whole process in a few YT videos before you get started.

Stains deck, decides it’s a good idea do a paint project on top of the deck. Lmao
Lmao I have no idea what he was thinking. I actually laughed when I saw him doing it.
When I tell you I need that laugh 😂😂
Lmao I laughed too
Speechless

Hey man I appreciate you showing us your failures. I'd rather learn from someones mistakes than from someone's success.
The problem with learning from someone’s mistakes is that all you have learned is what not to do. You still haven’t learned what to do.
One of the funniest and most helpful DIY videos I have watched as I am about re-do my deck.
Im not sure if this guy is trollin or not..hahaha

Then sand down the deck with a orbital sander . Then you stain . But stain 3 boards at a time all the way across with a brush and roller .
One board at a time on a hot sunny day, unless you like overlaps.

You're an honest dude! Very rare and refreshing.
Just curious. But why didn't you use your paint sprayer to apply the stain on your deck? It would have saved you a TON of time.
Oh shit man, you made my day with your humour. So honest you are. Great way to teach others.
When dude threw the broken handle, I felt his pain from every project I try to tackle.
I loved the same tone voice over , I was scared with him but also laughted cause it was funny how calm he was lol thanks for the video!
Wow. I am stunned. I hope you learned from this, or at least others will. If this is representative of the quality and attention to detail of your work, good news... it can only get better from here. I wouldn't blame the product in this case.

I needed this video.. I sometimes feel I'm the only one having crazy issues happen, refreshing to know I'm not
Thanks for making this video. It was frustrating for you but you turned it to educate everyone.

oh my!! man i would have went to the shed got my chain saw and just started cutting the deck up lol ! you had a rough time
Doing DIY as a distraction from a break up. Thanks for this (unintentionally) very funny video.
ah man, wow. I loved this video...i laughed and cried at the same time..so much work..so many issues.
I feel your frustration. Tough for people to realize all the effort into a failed project in 5 min
Oh my gosh. Thanks, I learned from this video.

Thanks for sharing. Just had deck stained cedar natural. It is orange like a pumpkin. Back to the drawing board because it is just too bright.
Keep working it out man you got this. Thank you for being straight up with it.
Always mix can real good roll or spray with the grain one by one fully without skipping lightly one coat usually two coats will do,, boiling water with dish washing soap is your friend let it set in spill paint for 8 min. Then scrub with a sponge or use ragged over scrapper to remove it, nail polish remover may help if not it's lacquer thinner blend with soapy boiling water, ,those work best
Classic. The old paint sprayer on the newly stained deck trick lol 😂
Man you had me dying laughing bro 😂😂😂
Misery loves company!! ROFL...but seriously thank you so so much for sharing. I started my deck yesterday, never did it before. But I learned so much from your experience. I'm definitely going to start with a test patch to make sure its want I envision.

I like the cinder color. I think that is the color I'm gonna go with.
I feel better about some of my projects...LOL...thanks for sharing man !
It is nice to a video that highlights the mistakes rather than picture perfects results...
frustration + humor + learning = nice video : )
Lmaoooo this guy is making my day.
Good video . I’m sorry but when you got to the white paint splattering I had to laugh.
The picture at 2:51 definitely is not cinder. Cinder clearly did not match the wood in the picture however the description of bold, dark or dramatic was spot on.
Aww man, I just want to cry my eyes out for ya!! Maybe wait a year and build a new deck?
“There I go painting the whole deck” lol. Did the same with a dark color. Now going for the Cedar
Glad you shared. Much appreciated!
Wow! Sorry to hear about the troubles on your deck project, but I am glad that I watched your video.
i recently had this same issue. i stopped after applying a section of railing.
Thanks for the tips.
Homie - I'm going to give you a thumbs up and I'm subscribing to your channel just because you're honest enough to show your failure.... We The Gentlemen of Culture salute you👈🧐
i would run the boards the other direction im going to use trex deck on mine it looks like your deck good work you will get it mine is as bad

Turn boards on their underside, then u can level when doing so, use a dark brown
Thanks for sharing your bad experience, it helps the rest of us! And any DIY’er has made their fair share of mistakes, some much more costly and time consuming, just don’t like to admit it!

Holy hell. Talk about a rough go. Sorry man but I cracked up
Always try stains on a separate piece of board.

Very helpful!!! Thanks!
Thank you for being truthful
When that handle broke... I felt your pain and anger both!
the sad part is that a deck that size you could have just ripped up those boards and redone with new boards for the same price and half the labor
the next guy, i bought this house with a deck that dips and stained with white drops of paint all over it. that last guy was awful.
LMFAO! lol.. Ok look! The black color is what they use on luxury real estate. They will also have flat black box planters. You could have just left it. Now after you power washed the black off, and there is still black ghost stains, that would have been fine. When you put the redwood finish over it, it created a patina or acid washed look. That look was actually
really artistic and nice. You should have left it. Now that you spilled white stuff on your deck, i would dab white stuff all over your deck more.. Then power wash it. So you will have even artistic stains. Then go over it with redwood. You will have a unique pattern. Think artistically and outside of the box.

It's not like these deck finishes will last 20 yers. Deck finishes are like a painted lawn chair you leave outside. The finish won't last many years so who gives a sheit. lol
I would rip it up and go back with the same wood using 2.5" deck screws.
Step one should have been demo the POS deck(?). Looked like a pile of old pallet lumber. You had no chance of making chicken salad out of chicken sh...
Thanks?
Yeah if u have the money
Your deck: “Ahhhh! Get me the he$$ outta here!”
Lmfao!! Dammnnnn you cant catch a break huh??😸😬
Use a large brush and solid stain
Mistake 1. You went to home depot. 2. Stain only 2-3 boards at a time to prevent lap Mark's. 3
Next time go to a Sherwin Williams or Benjamin Moore dealer. .
This is why i can charge silly amounts of money to paint…best part is when I have to fix some DIY garbage job.
Tell you what bro. I respect you for giving it your best shot lol... but next time look up the whole process in a few YT videos before you get started.
You may want to consider a position as a secretary....
Oh man my condolences 💐
Oh no!.... I know how it feels
Lmao burned the deck down
Use a solid deck paint.
Wow
Step 1: Tear off the deck
Step 2: Build a new one
not a bad color, its a bad job!
Man I feel bad for you .. if I am in your state I will do Free for you
Wow that was useful for us but a total pain for you!
