It's Raining on My Parade



Last weekend (including all day on my birthday) we stripped and cleaned the deck ready for staining and waterproofing. I't a pretty big deck. It was a big job. We wanted to make sure we did it right so we don't have to do it again ever, or something close to that. We used brand name products and everything. The stain was ready to go,

I took one last look at the forecast and poo -a 30% chance of rain had snuck in towards the end of the 24 hour drying period. I was really tempted to go ahead and do it, but I wanted it to be good, so I held off. That was Monday. Finally, today, the forecast is clear for 3 days, nothing on the radar, so I started.

Just as I'm about to pack it in for the evening, I feel spots of rain. AAAAAAaaaaaaaaaaaaargh. We tarped over the stain I'd done as best we could and now I have beer. Suddenly, the weather forecast mentions it might rain just now and a great green blob has magically appeared on the radar. This never happens in Michigan -we see all our weather coming from the west days in advance. *where's the bottom lip sticking out smiley?*

I'm thinking maybe it wasn't rain, but something to do with the piss gang.... ew.
