What's your Spring cleaning project?

I'm tearing out the rec room the previous owners built in the basement. I'm sure it was really cool back in the 60's.

It pretty much divided up half the basement and just made things seem smaller, dingy, and musty IMO. I took the disgusting drop ceiling out about a year ago, and now almost done ripping out the paneling. I tear down just enough to make a trip to the dump in the mini van. This is a load about a month ago.

I finished restaining the deck 2 weekends ago. Now I’m in the middle of planning the retaining wall project for a little flower bed.

@CookieCrumbs nice. We need to fix ours. Debating on getting the trex type deck boards for low maintenance.

@MrEagle
Those are easy to clean and maintain.

I have pressure treated wood.

@CookieCrumbs I like decks, I've never had a deck, and invariably opt for alternatives just because of the maintenance.

The wooden deck came with the house we bought. All it needs was re staining.

But if I were to get it built from scratch, I’d go for the composite kind. Easier to maintain and good for all kinds of weather.
