I admired the deck after those installations, super happy with the result.
Complete deck, before cleaning, before staining:

In the morning, I could see it in a different light, literally. Look how dirty the deck is. We've been walking on it, of course, and it's pretty filthy, especially the high traffic patterns. This has to be cleaned up before the deck can be stained. Clean it to stain it.. heh.
Dirty.
Dirty.
Dirty.
