My guess would be stained.

PM. People are going to get annoyed.

If its stained I need to know if its Semi transparent stain or solid color stain.

And did you stain it yourself or did the previous home owner? If so did they leave a can of product behind that will tell you about the specific coating that is on there?

You're giving me nightmares with this deck-refinishing conversation. Many tortuous hours of my life last summer that I will never get back.

Good luck!

I uncovered a surprisingly cheery stat about Canucks' shooting percentages, and preview tonight's game, in the new blog:

I'd love to share your enthusiasm but I think you are overvaluing a guy like Subban. As much as I would love to see all three brothers playing in the NHL it is a bit 50/50 as concerns Jordan. Of course I'm hoping he makes it, it would be a great story and of course hopefully help the Canucks out with their defensive depth (don't think he's ever going to be a top pair guy, though - to me, if he can make the transition to the NHL that will be an unexpected surprise, let alone if he can actually play in the top 4 (again, I just don't see it but am rooting for him nonetheless)

You're right to heed enthusiasm over Jordan Subban. My biggest concern with him is his size. 5'9" doesn't really cut it anymore.
