Decking 101Are you building a new deck this summer? Does your current deck look like it was made out of salvaged driftwood?

Whether you are re-staining your existing deck or staining new material, the helpful folks at Fraser Valley Rona are here to help you through your project. Preparation is paramount

Cleaning Pressure washing is always a good idea in order to remove dirt and debris from both new and old decking material. Note: Make sure you use a correct nozzle and a lower power setting to avoid damage to your deck.

There are also a variety of spray and scrub on deck cleaners and wood brighteners available at Rona that are great at removing dirt and grime from your deck.

Sanding Every year people ask if it is necessary to sand their deck boards prior to staining. Yes, yes it is. We agree that sanding is hard work and is a less than desirable chore, but if you want the best results from your efforts then sanding is absolutely crucial.

Why? If your decking is new, then sanding will remove the mill-glaze from the boards. Mill-glaze is a clear layer of melted sap that forms when the rough lumber is passed through the planer during the milling process. This barrier must be removed in order for stain to penetrate the boards properly.

If your decking has existing stain on it then the old stain must be sanded down before new stain can be applied uniformly.

If you let your deck boards sit for too long before staining they may start to turn grey. The greying of the wood is actually dead wood fibers, which you can remove by using a restoration product or sanding. This will allow the stain and wood lasts longer.

Get tested Use a moisture meter to check the moisture level of your deck. In order for stain to work properly your decking must be below 18% moisture content. You can also tape a black garbage bag around the end of a board on your deck and leave it in the sun for a few hours. If there is condensation on the wood when you remove the bag, your wood is too moist to stain.

Wait for good weather Do not stain wet decking! If your deck is not dry then your stain will lift,

bubble and peel like a bad sunburn, and just like a sunburn, this will undoubtedly make you angry.

However, if the weather is over 30 degrees Celsius than it is too hot to stain as the stain doesn’t have the opportunity to penetrate into the wood and will merely just sit on top. In the summer it is best to stain in the early morning or late evening if it is hot outside.

Time to Stain Is your deck dry? Clean? Sanded? Now your deck is ready to receive your stain. For best results roll the stain of your choice onto the deck and then use a brush to evenly paint the stain into the wood. This is called "back-brushing" and will maximize the amount of stain that penetrates into your deck. Also, stain or seal the cut ends and bottom of your boards for increased longevity.

In Conclusion Having a stained deck is a terrific way to add value and beauty to your home and is well worth the effort. However, no matter what product you use, your deck will require annual maintenance to some degree and will need to be re-stained every couple of years. The frequency of re-staining and level of up-keep is dependent on many variables including but not limited to: direct sunlight, weather, quality of construction, and product quality and application.

Too much work? If all this protocol and maintenance seems like too much of a hassle for you, we also sell composite decking in a variety of colours! For more tips and tricks on deck staining or any other project you have planned for your home this summer, visit the friendly and knowledgeable staff at Fraser Valley Rona.

10 TIPS FOR PACKING LIKE A PROThe secret? Being organized. Make sure you have the right tools—packing tape, permanent markers,sticky notes, and lots of boxes on hand will makeyour move much easier. Start early and work steadily. Make progress every day with your packinginstead of leaving it all until the last minute.e.

1. Develop a master “packing/to do” liist so you won’t forget something critical.

2. Purge! Get rid of things you no longeer want orneed. Have a garage sale, donate to a charity, or recycle. Remember to ask yourself howw frequently you use that item and how you would feel if you no longer had it.

3. Pack like items together. Put toys withh toys andkitchen utensils with kitchen utensils.

4. Decide what, if anything, you plan to moveyourself. Precious items, such as family photos,breakable valuables, or must-haves dduring the move. Wrap fragile items individually.

5. Put heavy items in small boxes so they are easierto lift. Keep the weight under 50 lbs., if possible.

6. Do not over pack boxes — boxes that are packed comfortably will be less likely to break.

7. Label every box on all sides. Use color-coded labels to indicate which room each item should

house to help your movers.

8. Keep your moving documents together, includingphone numbers, the driveer’sr’ss nnamnamnn e, and vannnumber. Also keep youur addressesss bobooboook ok okkok k hanhanhanhanhandy.dy.dyy.

9.computer.

10. If you’ve hiredd a mmoving coompany, inspect each box and all furniture for damaamaa ge g as soon as itarrives.

e Builders’ Association The Canadian Home

(CHBA) CHBA National Awards for Housing(CHBA) CHBA Nationa

Excellence were presented on Friday May

6, 2016 in Kelowna. Local builder Lacey

Construction Ltd. was honoured as the winner

of Best Whole Home Renovation $250,000 -

$500,000!

Chosen from a slate of impressive submissions

from CHBA members across Canada, Lacey

Construction’s Ltd. whole home transformation

was the winning entry with ‘Farmhouse

Reimagined’.

Dairy farmers are an important part of the

landscape in Deroche. Lacey Construction

worked with a local family to transform

their one-story farmhouse into a two story

Reimagined Farmhouse. Taking the home up

a story and increasing the square footage by

50% was a large project, involving all hands on

deck from Team Lacey!

Working with their clients to ensure minimal

disruption to the operation of the dairy farm,

Lacey staff worked with local suppliers and

trades to create an amazing award winning

project! President Erik Lacey was on hand with

his partner and wife Lesa Lacey to receive the

award. “We are proud of our team, trades

suppliers and most importantly our amazing

clients for the renovation! Thank you for making

a dream come true!”

Lacey Developments was a finalist in the CHBA

National Awards in 2014 for Whole Home

Renovation and CHBA BC Georgie finalist in

2013 – and now winning on a National stage

in 2016! It was an excellent evening to be

honoured, made doubly sweet as May 5, 2016

marked Lacey Construction Ltd.’s 17th year in

business. Lacey Developments proudly serves

the Fraser Valley, with a focus on custom

homes, renovations and recently, the exterior

Railway Street side renovation of the Mission

Friendship Centre.

Erik Lacey remarked “Tonight is an achievement

for our whole team – we have the best crew

around and we are grateful to work in the

Fraser Valley for close to two decades and

look forward to many more years serving our

community.”

Music and community remain at the heart of the

Mission Folk Music Festival returning July 22, 23 &

24 to beautiful Fraser River Heritage Park for its 29th

year.

“New community partnerships and the generosity

of individuals who have supported our fundraising

efforts has been tremendous,” says Board chair John

Vissers. “Changes and funding challenges created

uncertainty about this year’s festival, but so many

people want us to continue, it’s been a real boost to

our efforts to carry on.”

Friday and Sunday events at the park are by

donation as organizers ask patrons to “pay what you

can.” As a thank you to the community, Saturday’s

show is offered at the reduced rate of $29 per person

(+GST) in recognition of the festival’s 29th year.

The festival will encompass the best parts of years

past and feature blues, roots, folk, trad, and global

music performers.

The emphasis on community will be front and centre

on Friday night. Sponsored through a generous

patron, the evening features a number of acts

starting at 6pm, and is a gift to the community of

Mission.

On Saturday, you’ll find an exciting selection of

performance and collaborative stages along

with participatory workshops with everything from

stringed things to drumming to dance. The main

stage will be at a new location in the park, with a

side stage that will showcase full performances

during set changeovers.

The children’s area will be filled with music, arts and

storytelling with something for the kid in everyone.

Enjoy the fabulous food concessions and beverages

at the Festival Bistro. Browse the Artisan Market

highlighting local artists and makers, for treasures

including jewellery, clothing, musical instruments

and much more.

Sunday features rousing gospel from 11 am – 2 pm

at the park. The festival shifts east to the Historic

Dewdney Pub for a service at the Church of the

Blues. The musical feast then moves back into

Mission City for the closing concert.

“The 29th annual will definitely be a departure from

past years,” says Michelle Demers-Shaevitz, General

Manager. “It will be much more intimate in terms of

size and scope but with the same commitment to

artistic excellence and eclectic programming, and

all the heart and passion that has carried this much-

loved festival through the years.”

Bring the family and your friends - Friday and Sunday

events are by donation. Saturday’s show is $29 per

person for adults. The youth rate (13-18)

is $10, and children 12 and under are admitted

free of charge. On-site camping is available on

Friday and Saturday nights with the purchase of a

Saturday ticket.

Tickets for Saturday’s show and camping are on sale

at www.missionfolk.brownpapertickets.com.
