As life is interconnected in infinite ways, minutes after reading this post, a friend of mine, Jeff, started telling me about a guy 2 houses down that restored decks. Turns out this Bruce was a real swell fellow. Told me all about his business, etc, even showing me the books for his little side biz.

What a coincidence (or was it?)

I actually got down and dirty and Bruce let me try out his pressure washer. I was less than prepared to get soaked. My leather shoes absorbed a few cups of water alone.
