Here's a before and after shot of the portico deck after our cleaning efforts last week. The Intergrain Ultradeck Oil has come up really well. We may need to do another coat yet, which will make it a tiny bit darker. Alex also extended our retaining wall to the right of our block to support the driveway - another two sections had to go in. One bonus with all the construction happening around us at the moment is that a concrete truck happily came over and poured the holes with cement for free and dumped a heap of cut dirt to back-fill the wall saving us a bit of cash! Our retaining wall to the opposite side of the house also got a slight clean up with an extra length of hardwood added to the existing wall for more height (it runs approx 600mm off the fence line so we plan to fill it with soil and turn into a garden) so the stumps could finally be cut-off to height. They will also require another layer of oil, we used Linseed Oil for our retaining walls, before we back-fill with soil and prep for the garden to go in.
