This is an easy to understand and easy to do book for getting your finances in order. I would tell everybody to read it.

After buying the special brushes and following the instructions to the letter, watching the recommended video first and everything, only nine months later after a Western New York winter and mild, reasonable foot traffic over the deck during that time, my wife and I are disgusted at the chipping, peeling mess (also a bit faded already in the dark brown we used) we're left with and don't want to throw good money after bad putting more of this stuff on. It looked great for a couple months and we were so happy with it, "worth the extra cost and work putting it on there" but now we regret it and have no idea what to do. Even coming off in the corners where nobody ever steps. Scrape the whole thing off and start again with regular deck stain or just try more of this and hope for the best.
