Oiling the Deck

So Good Friday was more like good-for-getting-stuff-done Friday - amongst tackling a bunch of other projects I managed to get the first coat of oil on the deck.

Mr Tchotchke cleaned it first with Cabot's Deck Clean, and then I gave it a good coat - posts, handrails and all - with Sikkens Cetol HLS. Thanks goodness it was a lovely sunny day - it looks like it soaked in nicely and should be ready for another coat tomorrow.
