Time for the part we love. Varnish. It looks good but sure is a ton of work to keep up. Mat and I found that there was a problem with the varnish. Our varnish that we used didn’t hold up to the summer like it has in the past. It was splitting in cracks down to the wood. It needed to get fixed right away or we would loose it. Got 3 coats on in the 3 days we had off.
